anatoly techtonik added the comment:

I think we are talking about double standards.

Why the .xz and .txz are worthy including in 2.7.5 and .svg is not? See issue 
#16316.

http://bugs.python.org/issue15207 will break a lot of this stuff anyway, so I 
hope it will fix the issue.

Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment:

Christian: I think adding MIME types falls under platform support and we do 
still add platform support to Python 2.7.

That said, the mimetypes module *does* use platform files for determining MIME 
types, so adding missing MIME types there will likely result in a more usable 
overall system :-)

In other words: the problem is not really in Python's module, which only 
provides a bare minimum of MIME types, but in the system setup of your system, 
Anatoly.

It should be obvious that new mimetype == new feature. It doesn't matter if the 
type is popular or not.

anatoly techtonik added the comment:

I am not sure that policy defines anything related to datasets bundled with 
Python. Even when try to adopt policy reading to this case, it doesn't look 
like a feature, but a bug fix.

SVG is a registered MIME type http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/mimereg.html, SVG is the 
most popular (the only one?) open source format for vector graphics, which 
should be present in Python database, but it isn't.

I don't know what do you mean by "work around". Users don't know that the 
source of the bug is missing information from mimetypes package.

Christian Heimes added the comment:

That's against our policy. We don't add new features to stable releases. Users 
of the Google Client API can easily work around the issue and register their 
own mimetypes.

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik:

A request to backport issue10730 commit to Python 2.x
Why? Google Client API uses mimetype module to detect file types when uploading 
to Google Drive, and because SVG is missing, it can not be edited after 
uploading.
