>Yes, this is known and many people are probably waiting for this, but it takes much less time and work to set up one (or a few) link(s) from the map to "osm based services # routing" etc. in the wiki, but >we would have to know if "we" want this to happen, and if yes for what kind of uses/wiki pages. Who could decide on this, SWG? The board? Is there a process to propose this?

We have a world-wide OSM routing solution at Mapquest that should be easy to implement on the main site.  http://developer.mapquest.com/web/products/open/directions-service
Currently, we update the route data nightly using the latest daily at http://planet.openstreetmap.org/replication/day/000/000/  Also, every so often we do wipe the database and ingest the latest planet and then catch up to the latest daily.  I would love to see routing on the main site.
