What I think will be more useful is to store the absolute radii instead, so that new rects you create have the same radii even if different height/width. In fact, I propose to do away with the ratios altogether, so that the absolute values of radii are preserved even when you scale a rect with selector.
I will at least implement this as an option, but my question is, does anyone else think that this should be the default or even the only behavior?
Speaking for myself, I mostly would use this for diagramming, and so definitely would prefer that to be the only behavior that makes sense.
The only cases I can imagine where scaling the rect should also scale the radii would be ones in which I'd probably want to convert the rect to node paths anyway. Here I'm thinking about icons, logos or web graphics, where you're going to want to even convert all the text to curves.
Anyway, I do think it should be the default behavior, and if it was the only behavior, for my own purposes (diagramming) that'd be okay. If others like that behavior, maybe it'd be worth having as an option.
