Who thought this was a good idea to automate?
Since most desktop image software these days silently rotates images on display using EXIF orientation field, and MediaWiki until now didn't, a lot of users have been complaining that their uploaded photos display in the wrong orientation. Going forward the change should probably reduce unexpected behavior, but yeah, there seems to be a big backlog of wrong-oriented images now that assumed the previous behavior...
