Only ZIP files allowed?

Why have the allowed file types changed to only support ZIP files now?
Before you could also upload RAR files, and now it is restricted to only ZIP files for whatever reason.

ZIP is exceptionally bad for archives with lots and lots of files, for example my Muted Sounds Addon, which countains roughly 50,000 files. Changing from RAR to ZIP, its file size jumps from ~5MB to ~80MB, even if I choose the highest compression available.
Which in turn of course puts me way over the file size limit of this page, which is 40MB.

Thus, my only chance are to either rename the RAR file into .zip (which I have done now, but expect little success, as it's still pending), pack the RAR file into another ZIP file (with similar expectations) or simply stop using WoWInterface.


Isn't there any chance that you allow RAR files again?
