Comment (by remotesensingtools):

 I would contest this thinking, as GPS metadata is becoming intrinsic in
 the practicality of geo-aware position of images and visualization
 (inherent to the reality of the image taken, if metadata coordinates
 exist). To not provide the entirety of what's represented in the metadata
 of an image, is to cut-off the possibilities of developments for future
 development of plug-ins that can or will use that metadata. (You'd be
 making it far easier for plug-in developers to create their own methods
 for using said metadata, making it scalable for all developers.)

 Otherwise, by taking the approach you suggest -- would force two chains of
 metadata sets, limiting methodologies in content and visualization,
 forcing dependencies on more than one plugin, as well as creating overhead
 by applying an additional data-chain and plugins.
