That's not *quite* true - there was at least one proposal a few years
to modernise the mimetypes list, but the one I was involved in
reviewing got intertwined with a proposal to completely rewrite the
mimetypes module, and the submitter wasn't interested in creating a
more minimalist patch that solved the specific problem (i.e. the list
was pretty out of date) without all the extraneous changes to how the
module actually worked :(
Cheers,
Nick.
