This is not really factually true. The Wayland protocol does not have display configuration (ie the equivalent to XRANDR). GNOME shell provides a D-Bus interface for display configuration which is what drives the control-center display panel, and that D-Bus interface does support rotation. The X11 implementation in mutter is translating it into XRANDR and does support rotation. The Wayland implementation translates it into libdrm calls, and does not support rotation yet. I could also quibble with the notion that "I happen to use a rotated monitor on my system, so rotation is a test blocker", but thats probably not worth it... clearly rotation needs to be supported, and I believe Carlos and Florian have recently discussed the some plans for implementing it.
