Description
The OPML page (wp-links-opml.php) is a well kept secret. The link should be mentioned on import and export pages. Especially on /wp-admin/link-import.php
The best would be to make a special form for importing from WP where you could just enter the url of another WP installation, and it would fetch the opml page automatically.

+1 from me for promoting it and/or making it easy to import. As a user I had to do a bit of research to figure out how to do this in the past! I stumbled upon the answer but I doubt if a lot of people would. I've got XAMPP and Tortise installed and am tracking updates; may eventually get proficient enough with PHP and familiar enough with the WordPress core to do some patching (I used to do a bunch of Perl programming a few years ago but I'm going to grab a book and brush up on PHP; hacking it for a few months hasn't taught me all the ins and outs yet!). If I run across this again and I have time and it hasn't been fixed; maybe I'll do something about it...

Is this still wanted? My approach would be adding another option to the export list for exporting links as OPML similar to exporting posts or pages. Other suggestions?

Discussed this with nacin on irc (see logs 2011-07-20). Apparently this is not relevant anymore, so I'm setting this to wontfix.

I +1 the idea of promoting it a bit. I think it should be mentioned on Manage/Export and on Blogroll/Import Links, maybe just as a Codex link where things could be detailed.
