See also bug 54291 for related config for upload.wikimedia.org. We're using more and more little SVG files for style effects and icons used in MediaWiki client-side code; when not directly embedded in CSS these get loaded as static files off of bits.wikimedia.org and by default are not compressed, for example http://bits.wikimedia.org/static-1.23wmf13/extensions/CirrusSearch/cirrus-beta.svg on the beta features page. While these are often not huge, they do compress very well (as XML source) and it'd be nice to auto-compress them on the wire.
Change 113687 had a related patch set uploaded by Brion VIBBER: Work in progress: set .svg and .ico files to be compressed on bits.wikimedia.org https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/113687
