<p>I see that router.project-osrm.org is returning results again.</p>

<p>I'm daring to think and ask why a prominent feature as directions on the frontpage of openstreetmap.org is using a "14 days+ breakage intended" demo server from OSRM? </p>

<p>The fact that router.project-osrm.org is a demo service is being emphasized by OSRM in the follow ups to these issues reported by OSRM users:<br>

<p>Wouldn't it be an idea to put a "beta", "demo" or "not a core OSM service" note on the routing tab if this is how it is regarded? At least when the API is down?</p>

<p>For interested parties, the latter of the above OSRM issues is the one that tracks the actual trigger for the current breakage; a problem in u-turn handling discovered by a <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/40938983#map=14/31.1423/29.8277">changeset in the wild from Egypt</a>.<br>
