I personally do not need them. If they are added, I would definitely only want to seem them as an option, as I very much prefer the current dotted arches. I would definitely not use them, my aesthetics simply prefer an arched line:
-they are less obstrusive imo - anything dotted (or dashed for that matter) shouldn't be tapered in my opinion.
