Comment (by harveyfloyd):

 Too bad it doesn't work for heic, heif, heics or heifs files. Not even if
 you add them at the bottom and get all the mime types right.

 Replying to [comment:9 mattheweppelsheimer]:
 > @harveyfloyd Good news: It is already possible to modify the default
 list of file types WordPress will allow you to upload. Check out the
 filters `upload_mimes` and `wp_check_filetype_and_ext`. Here's an example
 of a plugin that uses those and might meet your needs out of the box:
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-extra-file-types/ WP Extra File Types].

 > Given those workarounds, and given that this change is not critical for
 the vast majority of WordPress users at this moment in time, I'm walking
 back the severity property.
