Comment:

 > CPTs: When a plugin or theme adds custom post types, I would reason that
 this theme or plugin is responsible for adding them to the export. Because
 core can hardly guess what the export for that CPT should contain, and
 what now.

 Ya, that's how we prefer it, at least.

 I took this for a whirl and it worked (although the patch is a bit out of
 date, as it didn't apply clearly).

 > Looking more at this: don't think there is any personal data in posts...
 We are trying to export parts of the post instead of any user data as
 there is no user data in there :)

 Right, there usually isn't any user data in posts. But the text of the
 GDPR says "‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified
 or identifiable natural person" (https://gdpr-info.eu/art-4-gdpr/) That
 sounds like its a bit more extensive than JUST personally-identifiable
 data.

 If this isn't closed, it seems to me it should include the post's body,
 not just the URL, but probably not the post ID as that doesn't seem to
 relate to the user.
