We should retain all the EXIF that doesn't bloat

the binary fields, the exif thumbnail, and any ICC profiles). This has
been long discussed and a bug is opened for this.
Going further and adding data from the image page into the exif would
be even better... but thats quite a bit harder.
However, my experience is that most professional photographers and
those very concerned with being properly attributed ensure that these
metadata fields are populated in their images. I certainly do so.
