What Graf means is that currently the 2D drawers in Software mode use the sprite/wall drawers which are incapable of doing these things. You would need an actual rotating drawer to accomplish this - they're not hard to write, but they tend to be a deathly performance killer if you don't do it just right.
Yes, these drawers are important. We're not dropping a feature just because it's too inconvenient for any given contributor to help maintain it.
