And, lots more discussions here as well:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Bots/Work_requests#Maintenance_category_for_files_with_EXIF_rotation_other_than_0_degrees

If I interpret that discussion correctly, the number of globally used
files that were affected is estimated to be about 20,000, with an
additional 35,000 files that weren't globally used, based on analysis
of the image metadata dumps.
