 > I'm testing a workaround where colleagues upload their WOFFs to an FTP
 folder I've created for them. Then I'll modify our CSS rendering code to
 look there for the WOFFs instead of the Media Library. No more MIME types,
 (super)admin lockouts, or security error messages.

 Glad to hear you found your own workaround! The only caution I'd throw out
 there is that unbridled FTP access could pose an even greater danger than
 anything conducted through the WordPress UX. If possible, I recommend
 using SSH keys instead of passwords for your users and jailing access to
 that one directory. :)
