one of the big improvements to the 5.0 work is simplifying the overall design system. It should not be hard for someone to extend the CSS to remove that rounding if it is seen as a problem.
However, I want to point out that the word "preliminary" was plastered all over those screenshots, the specific CSS has not been finalized so don't get too worried just yet.
But I have to say I'm a bit shocked that people are having such strong reactions. It feels like rounded corners represents something much deeper that people are reacting to?
