 I'd like to open a discussion about adding `.epub`, `.mobi` and other
 ebook file formats to our accepted file list.

 Following an internal discussion, I understand that on a technical level,
 it is trivial to add them to the accepted list (great!) However, I'd like
 to know what work needs to be done in advance to assess potential security
 risks?

 Is there any context behind the exclusion of these formats in the past
 that still applies today?
