Hi Luciano,

Thank you for the helpful feedback. As a PPMC member of Apache MXNet, I'd like 
to resolve this issue once for all. One thing that we can benefit from your 
help is narrowing down what file types are acceptable to be in whitelist.

I started a pull-request for this purpose [1] (and thread [2]). Given that RAT 
check is a popular method at Apache, I'd appreciate you and other people who 
are willing to help to comment on it. If others find it useful, I'm happy to 
bring back the result to the list once we have clarity.
