Comment:

 I think it makes sense to whitelist the type while support grows for it to
 be displayable/workable by readily available tools, while putting off full
 image support until those tools are common.

 WordPress whitelists uploads of various types including TIFF that are not
 natively displayable. As far as I'm aware, this list usually contains most
 common file formats that are not considered to be a security risk.
