The /me endpoint deprecation is a real issue — LinkedIn moved profile data to /userinfo (OpenID Connect) and /v2/me has been returning 403s for apps created after a certain date.
I addressed this in the examples in PR #73 (updated to use /userinfo and /posts endpoints). If this PR touches the core client rather than just examples, it would be complementary — one fixes the library internals, the other fixes the example code that users copy-paste.
Worth noting: the replacement endpoint requires the openid and profile scopes instead of r_liteprofile.
