[Foundation-l] The Mediawiki 1.18 image rotation bug on Commons and on all Wikimedia projects

[Teofilo]

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.
