Comment (by foolswisdom):

 Thanks for the patch Nazgul! After 2.2, I look forward to giving it a
 spin.


 Replying to [comment:2 jhodgdon]:
 > However, there is no way the list of MIME types in that function will
 ever be complete -- there are too many MIME types out there. There is also
 a plugin hook there (upload_mimes), so anyone wanting to allow new file
 types can write a plugin to do it. So why choose to add this particular
 MIME type and not a whole host of others? I am not in favor of adding this
 particular one, necessarily.

 Who is arguing against adding a whole list of others? All ~popular "safe"
 extensions should be added.
