Comment:

 At this time, we don't add rewrite rules to block access to files - if a
 user doesn't want files downloadable, they shouldn't be placed within a
 publicly readable location, or should have a unqiue non-guessable
 filename.

 Some security plugins are known to add extra rewrite rules to potentially
 block invalid requests, I don't think I've seen any of those add a similar
 rule to this either.
