LinkedIn is now what Yahoo was after the Microsoft offer fell through. They're just going to stay in a state of limbo, doing stupid things like this (I bet this 'product' has a whole Product team behind it), getting presumably half of their userbase pwned (makes you wonder if Yahoo ever experienced that) and doing whatever they can to milk their resource/site for new revenue. I don't think anybody can suggest a decent way for them to keep growing (in numbers and revenue) without some element of sleaziness involved, because they've probably attempted those sleazy strategies already. Sadly though, like so many proponents here say, LinkedIn has become the monopoly in the professional networking market. So we're all stuck with a shit site that makes privacy-related matters opt-in and nothing can really be done about it (suggesting that a "better linkedin" be started isn't exactly an option either), but we all need it to find better jobs or grow our networks.
