Has anyone seen any reliability data to show that Lead Free solders
would work better with rounded pads than with squared pads? This is not
to dispute Brian's contention (I actually agree with him). I was just
curious to see if any data supports this claim.

Another reason for rounded pads is when using Pb-free solders, due to
the
increase in surface tension and wetting angle, people are moving to
rounded pads so that they don't have exposed corners after reflow.
