[Bf-committers] poll: uv/col mirror might not work for bmesh ngons

[Wael EL ORAIBY]

It seems that this feature lacks interest, no one seems to use it, for
now I think it is better to have it removed. The axis orientation was
not right even, once you do an orientation it goes to the next. I
believe we should have it removed. (this goes also for color). The
reverse have the same issue for ngons with odd vertex count. maybe a
new UI method should be developed for that, till then better move to
something of more interest.

To Joe: I will comment both (mirror uv and colors), and proceed on
with color rotation.
