In that case, those weird shaped roof pieces are exactly what TLG need to
consider including in the next LEGO Direct update.
Also, I would consider adding a test of sorts if I were TLG, and have inward
and outward sloping low corner bricks made up for the low slope bricks. I
wonder if it's possible to make inward and outward corners that are made up
of one of each kind of slope - this would be useful for joining two
differently sloped ridges and would absolutely make the LEGO housing
industry explode! ;-)
Of course there are silly or exceedingly rare variations that could probably
be applied to the steep sloped 1x2x3 bricks and similar varieties, but it'd
be up to TLG to try combinations involving slopes like that. Maybe a new
Architectural (or similarly named) theme? ;-)
Cheers ...
