The unrepentant attitude expressed above by K. Peachey increases the need for clear excuses from the Wikimedia Foundation, expressing clearly that something has gone wrong in the decision process, and that the people who think the relationship between users-community and developers the way K. Peachey is thinking, are mistaken. I don't want to address every single untruth included in K. Peachey's message. Let's say that when pictures are concerned, the input of the Commons community is useful, as is useful the input of the Georgian wikipedia when a Georgian-language-related feature is concerned. Let's say again that when users have been allowed for years - FOR YEARS - to upload pictures without concern for the exif orientation tag, revoking this allowance without prior warning is a breach of trust. And anyway, this is no reason to suddenly annoy readers, who are third parties in this developer-uploader misunderstanding and absence of dialogue. A Deadline is possible of course. All it needs is the political will from the Wikimedia Foundation management to impose a deadline to the devs.
