Hi Jean-Pierre,
I agree that a the trapezoidal pad is seldom used for most circuits and this
feature isn't important. However, commercial tools like Altium Designer or
Mentor Expedition support custom pad shapes, there is a lot of freedom for the
pad geometry (any polygonal shape). Have a look

Currently, this is by design.
Adding thermal relief to a trapezoidal shape creates discontinuity, and
the shape is no more a trapezoid.
In fact, using a trapezoidal shape for a pad in a copper zone has no
interest.
For these

There are precise rules on trace thickness for antennas, and this let me
have one thing I could modify in the footprint to handle multiple different
feedline widths.
Yes,

Nick,
I have used trapezoidal pads to connect between PCB antennas and traces.
There are precise rules on trace thickness for antennas, and this let me
have one thing I could modify in the footprint to handle multiple different
feedline widths.

Sorry, but I already said why a trapezoidal pad is designed.
