I don't ever remember myself or JP not being interested in round traces. It's just been a matter of priorities and manpower. I do remember being pretty firm on ensuring that the gerber plotting and DRC are correct before the drawing tools and file format changes go live. The reason for this should be obvious. Fixing the DRC is in the v6 road map so that would be the best place to start for someone who has a lot of free time. The amount of work to implement this is not going to be trivial and I will expect the design and quality of the DRC code changes to be high.
