The shape/cut of the edge of the rings is designed to direct the maximum amount of gasses into the ring land, (behind rings), in order to create cylinder wall pressure and make a good seal. Many people are of the mistaken belief that spring pressure alone creates this seal. Not so.
Filing or camferring(?) the edge of the rings would ruin their design.
