I agree with Paolo, and also see the value of Sandro's argument that developing such functionality in a branch get's much less testing/viewing and is very hard to merge back. Myself I only had a serious look at it when it was in master... So as long as we can hide it for normal users (even without tickbox, we can make a cli-option for it :-) ), AND nothing is broken I'm in favour of letting it in master. I think Sandro should hide the spinbox in the statusbar for now, and nay-sayers should now try to find bugs related to rotation work? There is a PSC-meeting on 2th januari, let's make the final decision there.
