The idea of adding explicit pivot properties was met with general
agreement as long as we preserve compatibility (meaning that an
auto-computed pivot at the center of the bounds must remain the default).
The questions are around what form the API should take. They basically
boil down to:
1. How do we indicate whether the pivot is computed vs explicitly specified?
2. Should the pivot position be 3 doubles or a Point3D
3. Do we need a separate pivot for rotation vs scaling
My quick thoughts (although I might be able to be persuaded otherwise) are:
1) a boolean property
2) 3 separate doubles
3) no
Michael's proposal of a couple months ago [1] would match those answers,
and is an interesting approach that I hadn't considered before. The
question then is whether want the additional flexibility that it
provides and whether it is worth the additional implementation,
documentation, and testing that would be needed. It can be a discussion
point. I'd like to know what Nir thinks of that idea.
I think we can discuss the details of the API in the PR, although while
it is Draft, many people will miss the discussion (since it doesn't get
sent to the mailing list), so it might be better to at get high-level
agreement on the answers to the outstanding API questions on this list?

The PR seems to be a bit stale, as it has been sitting around for
almost two years.
Me too, but there was no decision as to the implementation type. We
can continue the discussion on the PR at this point I think.
