> We're currently using Tika's `tika-mimetypes.xml` to detect mime types for
> files based on extensions and magic in
> [rails/marcel|https://github.com/rails/marcel]. I'm wondering what Tika's
> stance is on retiring deprecated/obsolete mime types.
> In [an issue|https://github.com/rails/marcel/issues/4], someone reported that
> the [message/news|https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/message/news]
> type was matching on any text file beginning with "Article". While this magic
> rule seems a little aggressive to me, the type has also been [deprecated by
> the IANA|https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/message/news] since
> 2009. Does Tika ever plan on removing support for deprecated types such as
> this? If not, I can change our XML parsing rules to reject certain types.
