We don't really do things by voting here. Reasoned arguments only. :-)

Not really. For straight lines it's pretty trivial to do today anyway
(either by drawing actual dashed lines or faking it with a pattern),
and in general you can use other styles of lines instead of actual
dashes. Now of course I'm not saying that this is always a good
alternative, but it's not a blocker.

If someone actually does this, then we might have to reconsider.
