Ethnic dioceses in the OCA edit

I would dispute the claim that the Bulgarian Diocese of the OCA isn't under the Russian Orthodox umbrella. Sure, it isn't by historical origin, but I haven't came across a parish or monastery that felt uniquely Bulgarian. It's been largely Russified liturgically. I can't say the same for the Romanian diocese, and I have no idea how the Albanian diocese does things, but I would consider removing the Bulgarian Diocese from the exception.

Churches that use Church Slavonic edit

We read in the introduction to the article that Russian Orthodoxy applies to "churches within the larger communion of Eastern Orthodox Christianity, whose liturgy is or was traditionally conducted in Church Slavonic language."
1. Shouldn't this list include also the Patriarchates of Serbia and Bulgaria that still retain some use of Church Slavonic? And the Church of Macedonia coming out of Serbian Church?
2. Though they moved from Church Slavonic several centuries ago, shouldn't it also include the Romanian Church?
3. Though they have a millenary tradition of their own, when the Church of Georgia was absorbed by the ROC, Church Slavonic was imposed until its autocephaly. Should it be included?
