Surely if the CSSU now allows users the possiblity of configuring the transitions they should be albe to do so with a built in package rather than then having to go and download the package from repos.
Otherwise I can just see the numerous questions on the CSSU thread when end users download the stable version in due course then asking how they configure the transitions which has been listed on the changelog as being configurable. I personally can not imagine anybody who downloads the CSSU will not want to at least try configuring the transitions to start with, even if they then decide to go back to the stock version (which i would of thought is pretty unlikely anyway from my own experince so far)

I guess hildon-desktop can only switch to portrait mode if OMWeather widget is on any of the desktops..
Tried rotating hildon-desktop without installing OMWeather & it does not rotate like shown in any of the videos....
Is there another way to rotate hildon-desktop without installing OMWeather?

Just because you want to change the transitions settings doesn't mean you'll want to do it through a GUI. By the same logic, why not package Theme Customizer in with the CSSU? It lets the users edit their themes comfortably, without digging in to the file system, and without having to edit various CSS/xml/whatever files to change, say, font colors.
Same for apps that let you edit the power menu without editing /etc/systemui/systemui.xml manually, or which let you rearrange stuff in the status menu, etc. So why don't we just cram all of that in there? Because at the end of the day, app space is limited, and people who don't want a package shouldn't be stuck getting it installed and un-installing it every time an update for a larger package they do want comes around. If you don't have it packaged with the CSSU, the users who want a GUI lose very little. I assure you, there will be approximately the same amount of stupid questions on some topic either way. The same users who can't find the "CSSU Transition Settings" or whatever you call it in their list of apps-available-for-install in the app managers will probably come here asking how to edit the transitions even if it's automatically installed to their settings menu. Not all of them, but enough to fill the forums with the same questions over and over.
At the end of the day though, if you have it packaged separately, those who want it are only marginally inconvenienced by having to download one more thing, maybe look a little more closely to the main wiki page to see that you need to download the separate app. But if you have them packaged together, the people who don't want those packages are not just slightly inconvenienced, because they have to manually delete them (which if it's part of the same .deb, would require some manual removal of the relevant files, and if it's a seperate .deb that's brought in during installation as a dependency, would probably result in fiddling with dependency errors or control files, every time an update rolls around). And no matter how far in the minority a group is, if their unnecessary inconvenience is far greater than a majority's really minor inconvenience, it's not really fair to let the minuscule advantage to the majority be addressed at the cost of causing the greater inconvenience to the minority.
P.S. I see themes can (as of a couple of updates ago going by the bug comments I found this out from) include a .../backgrounds/applicationmanager-portrait.png to give HAM a portrait background. That makes me rather happy.

Yeah it should be easily doable... but I guess the devs will try to develop something first to rearrange the icons and widgets as like I see it now it just doesn't make much sense if you cant see half of your icons and stuff. This will be the more difficult part of it though... let's see, they did a great job until now!
