Let's see:

osmosis --rx finland.osm --tf accept-ways highway=motorway_link --tf 
reject-ways oneway=\* --used-node --wx finland-motorway_link.osm

yielded 101 ways. I checked some 10 of them, and all should have been 
oneway=yes.

I have no strong opinion on this. If nobody objects, I will remove the 
add oneway=yes from highway=motorway_link next week.
