Nope, it needs to be a surface property. Apps need to be able to dynamically change their orientation preference.

What's more, as discussed before, some apps will still want to rotate themselves (like camera, probably some games). The panel still needs to change position in that case, and we may say we only support this if app is fullscreen.

All in all, I believe this needs design exploration.
