I just found a case where the empty mime type is actually usefull, it's in Lib/http/server.py:
extensions_map = mimetypes.types_map.copy()
extensions_map.update({
'': 'application/octet-stream', # Default
'.py': 'text/plain',
'.c': 'text/plain',
'.h': 'text/plain',
})
It does *not* uses add_type, but demos the fact that the empty type may be usefull from time to time, maybe don't warn and don't deprecate it at all.
