if you mean the mantis tracker roadmap, I don't think that was ever a serious roadmap, it's always been "it's done when it's done"

If I'm not mistaken Realthunder has implemented this in his branch, but has not made a PR for master branch yet

It was/is very common in castings and injection molds.

For 3D printing it is probably more aesthetics.

For casting, when the pattern is made, the fillets would be created with a tool or a finger and clay (think caulking) and could easily be tapered like this.
