Certainly parts of it, yes. Over time more and more can be incorporated 
and adapted within the natural evolution of WP.

I'm a rounded corner guy myself. ;)

I'd say it's medium-priority. It'll probably benefit more from a gradual 
introduction then a change-everything-overnight approach.

There are also some things that I think would clean up the current 
design quite a bit, and could even make a minor point release. I'd love 
to have the wide boxes on the Post page look like the smaller ones, and 
have the rounded bottom when things are closed, for example.

Is there an archive of all the versions along the way somewhere? I'd be 
happy to host such a thing, it might be interesting to see how things 
have evolved.
