Without it Corel Painter/Opencanvas/Sai/Illustudio etc. etc. users don't consider Krita as a valid alternative.
Due to users request, Adobe too added something similar to the recent releases of Photoshop... ^^

Most of that is already supported -- we have a perspective grid and the painting assistants which allow for perspective. And the brush parameters can change with the perspective as well.

Would be very cool indeed -- but I'm not sure for 2.5, unless someone steps up and codes it. I do hope that 2.5 won't take a year and a half :-)
