I think this is Google's half hearted/half assed attempt at allaying the fears of those concerned about 'what Google might do next'. As a lot of you who have tried to export out have seen, this does not work satisfactorily or does not work at all! (See other's experiences in this thread).
I myself tried to export gmail contacts out and found it does not work as expected and does not work at all for groups. Nor does it export full data in vc, like contact photos. Why not? It's supported in the file format so why not add it?
Seems like they're making the fixing of export-out bugs a low priority. So low that its not even working at all for some. To me all this seems like deliberate negligence.
