Issue is it's not always that easy to find the correct words to enter in the whitelist or blacklist to make the rotation work.
Hence and thus not easy to make a whitelist GUI.

Well, but you don't need to break the rotation locks on absolutely everything, do you? Sure, I can try to put portrait mode support into Pierogi, but you're going to have to hold the phone at an extremely awkward angle in order to use it... I believe there are some apps that benefit from not being forced into portrait mode.

I'm thinking about something else: if you're a developer, you create a file yourapp.blacklist, and it's taken into account. And your app is landscape only. Just as with /etc/sudoers.d
This way you can easily create portrait only apps.

But I already have a portrait-only app! I've built it using the official Qt rotation handling mechanism. Until the CSSU comes along and breaks this functionality.
Doesn't it make more sense to have a list of apps that need to be broken, rather than create a list of apps that need to be repaired after being broken? (And, from what I'm gathering, the size of these blacklists seems to be getting pretty large; a "whitelist" might be smaller, and therefore easier to manage...)

And this doesn't work well with forced rotation. So in my concept you'd create one small file so that hildon-desktop recognizes this as a lndscp app.
Is this a good way out?
Most landscape apps are designed for that orientation. Because it is most convenient (like your app), or they where created in the pre-portrait era of the N900.
That's why I only have a small whitelist in my transitions.ini, with apps that scale/function well even in portrait mode.
