I can offer a data point: I was able to export my data from the new delicious on tuesday (after noticing the changes) and then import it into a new pinboard account with no issues or anything missing (998 bookmarks and 2748 tags). maybe I was lucky!

I guess you were lucky, or I might be very unlucky. I think the problem might be I have close to 20.000 bookmarks, most of them neatly organized and tagged. The export chokes after a minute or so and just shows a blank page. Grabbing via the API (using curl or WGET) gives me a very incomplete dump.

Last export I did was earlier this summer. I never imagined they'd screw up so bad. Now they don't even reply to my e-mails.

Another data point. I have had no problem with my existing links (1697 of them that all seem to be present), exporting said links and have had no problems logging in or using my existing id and password.
