Wish - Ribbon Offset like for _ExtrudeSrfTapered

Hi All,
I wonder if V7 will have some enhancement on the _ExtrudeSrfTapered or any of the tapered extrude tools. The issue is always self intersections, or small triangular surfaces on the corners… To get a clean result I usually rebuild many of the surfaces and use the original result just as a starting point.
After taking a look at the new command _RibbonOffset I thought that this kind of approach could benefit the surfaces creation with draft angle.

What do you think?

Agree here - ExtrudeCrvTapered seems like a great shortcut to get all those tapered surfaces at first, but then later you realise you have actually created a world of problems if you need to fillet it. In those cases, of cours eyou can pre-fillet the curves before tapering them.
