Hello there,

the last state of the discussion on that was that
we on the list could not agree on the nessecity of routing-nodes
at all and on what vehicle-types to consider for this.
As far as I remember it was still left to the application
to have or have not a simplified graph of routing-nodes
selected to it`s own vehicles needs from the OSM-data.

Thus we only have way-ids and node-ids to refer to our map
in such a service and no routing-node-relation-id.

(I still am not convinced that having such a thing is
 a good idea for everyone but you. But you are free to
 add whatever relation you like to the map and use it
 yourself.
 The voting on the page you mentioned has not a single
 PRO-vote but a lot of CONs. Thus I see it as "declined".)

Let`s use another topic or even better the talk-page
on your wiki-page to discuss this. It seems to have no
immediate relevance to crownsourced metrics.

Regards,
Marcus
