Why not create an admin permission "can download backups" or more commonly "can use the backup functionality (create, restore, delete, download)"? It might be an idea for phpBB 3.3/4, I don't see it as something to implement in 3.2 anyway. Why would an extra permission need to wait for a new major ...

Situations where a forum administrator does not have access to the server are very rare so to continue putting everyone at risk for that tiny fraction of a percent of admins that might end up needing to download a backup through the browser does not seem to merit keeping the functionality.

Agreed.

Since I have an extension that allows you to use (not directly upload from within the container) SVGs manually uploaded by users I foresee that I will still implement sanitization before their use. So the link could be useful to me. Thank you.

I do confirm.

Will do, great.

Am I right it should be :construction: instead of WIP actually?

Not sure about the flow-chart https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb/commit/2 ... 860edb64eb

Yes, base is perfectly fine IMO, as long as it's one of the last choices and we go ahead, the die is rolled.
