I would have preferred a compressed version, but the current one
("zXIF") is far away in the process pipeline, and, even more
importantly, that one is (unfortunately) unsafe-to-copy.

As I had said from the very beginning, I am strongly supporting a
safe-to-copy EXIF, and I am weakly supporting a compressed EXIF.

Strongly-supporting a safe-to-copy EXIF chunk means:
I would vote "yes" for a safe-to-copy EXIF (such as this one), and
"no" for an unsafe-to-copy EXIF (such as the currently-proposed
"zXIF"), for reasons already stated.

Weakly-supporting a compressed EXIF chunk means:
I would debate in the favor of a compressed EXIF instead of an
uncompressed one, but I would still vote "yes" for either version
(hence my "yes" vote here).

Sincerely,
Cosmin
