Many people indeed. I wanted that since I had my first camera with rotation exif data. > Every uploader sees the image he/she is uploading and has made the necessary > rotation beforehand. Not necessarely. An example is the Flickr pictures from "pro" accounts. Many such users upload their pictures in bulk, but they only rotate them after upload. This leaves the small, medium and large previews correctly rotated, but the original (which is uploaded on commons) remains non-rotated. >> i.e., was there strong reason to apply it to past images, not >> just new ones? > > Don't ask, you need no reason if you work directly with the WMF. No, there wasn't. But hey, there is no software without bugs and no people that never made mistakes.
