Increasing infill towards the top means that some of the infill towards at least one side won't really be resting on top of anything while it's printing. This requires a lot of bridging. It won't be able to transport a lot of force, so it won't make the model much stronger. That is, if the infill pattern is simply resized as it is done now. It requires a bit of creative thinking to get this idea worked out proper, I think.
Perhaps something like gradually splitting lines in two as it goes up? Like if you'd see a side-view you'd see a tree structure, but then with the sides of triangles rather than single lines?
Plug-ins for the back-end of Cura (CuraEngine) are planned for the future, by the way, but will take a long time to implement properly.

S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
