Well, I don't think you need arbitrary affines, but both scales and
rotations are pretty common requirements, and arbitrary affines
are no hard than scales and rotations.
Long term, GTK+ certainly needs a powerful 2D rendering API ...
hopefully, we can reuse something like Xr rather than completely
rolling our own, but rotating pixbufs seems to be very much
in-scope for what users of GTK+ need to do.
