I agree, and hope most others would, too! Besides legibility, position is
the issue that could affect developers -- if anyone is using
vtkTextProperty::SetOrientation to rotate their text, my changes will push
the text around into a new location, easily breaking their code...

I've had to add switches to filters that preserve buggy/"legacy" behavior
by default, so I like to check these things before making such changes --
and more importantly, this leaves a breadcrumb in the archive for people
trying to figure out why their code broke! ;-)
