Comment (by Ninos Ego):

 As first step why you guys don't just allow svg upload for users, which
 can e.g. change the page logo in customizer (-> administrators).

 In the WWW svgs are mostly used for icons and logos (designer tasks).
 You're right if you say, that lots of users in web still don't use svgs,
 because svgs are vector-based images and so just thought for icons, logos,
 graphics and not for pictures. Customers mostly just handle pictures. Also
 svgs are not known by customers, because they are not widely supported atm
 :D

 As stated before, the feature #33755 is mostly useless without supporting
 svgs (at least for administrators). More and more webdesigners use svgs
 for logos.

 Please tell us how you want to handle svg images support in wordpress now
 and in future releases, so we can create patches which will hopely be
 merged in near future :)
