I agree that so long as the pigtail indicates the "true" orientation things will be good. I understand that say a VL homes up 90 off from most fixtures, so I normally want to "orient" those fixture with the pigtail going to side stage. Ultimately my current struggle with previz fixtures is that getting orientation in relation to real life is an absolute struggle. Sometimes pig tail information is incorrect, dmx values are inverted to correct for wrong pigtail locations, or many other factors. To me I value this ability to orient a fixture matching its real world counterpart more than anything else. Half the time a show must revert to a previz file to get correct fixture orientations. Or I spend my entire day trying to confirm fixture orientations match from previz to the real world (then toss in the ability to invert values at both a console and the fixture... good times)

Is there a current plan for incorporating whip orientation, or positional tag data to indicate how a fixture is oriented in relation to its real life counter part?
