Before this "fix" Commons did not have much problems with rotated images. They
were rare and we had a simple system for tagging them for a bot to rotate. Now
all the bets are off, since most images in need of rotation only need the
deletion of the EXIF tag. I have uploaded yesterday a dozen of images which
show just fine on my windows machine and 25% of them show up on Commons
rotated. At present I do not have any tools on my PC that follow EXIF tags so
it is hard to find such images beforehand. I am uploading images for years and
for time being they all look fine, but I expect that large fraction of them
will self-rotate if re-rendered. 

I think this extension is a cure to non-existing illness and the side-effects
of the cure messing up much more files than are helping. I think we should
revert it.
