Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that users will continue to be able to export all of their data (not just contacts) after tomorrow. The link provided in the above post only pertains to upcoming restrictions to the LinkedIn API. The API restrictions obviously restrict what third party sites/services can obtain, but, as far as I can tell, there are no new limitations on what a user can directly export via the following link:

https://www.linkedin.com/settings/data-export-page

Not trying to be pedantic here, but I think the "Export your data while you still can," is, perhaps, a bit of an overstatement. It's what got my attention anyway.

TL;DR -- A user will continue to be able to export all of their data after tomorrow, but third party services may be restricted.
