If a bottom pad of a QFN for example, has multiple paste mask openings generated from PCB Libraries, do these openings need to have rounded corners, or do the fabricators handle the issue with 90 degree corners on stencil openings automatically?

I know the bottom pad itself can have rounded corners.
