As they have separate MIME types, there shouldn't be an issue. The main source of conflation is that OGG audio codec is called "OGG Vorbis", so some people assume that the extension .ogv is for that (I know I did). Worst case, if there is some issue with OGG, or people are super-attached to the generic extension, the MIME type can be left alone for now. The vast majority of uploads are pictures, and I'd rather see only those issues resolved than none at all. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
