What are people's thoughts about using GitHub/Bitbucket/Etc's git LFS feature that's coming online for everyone?

You can stash just about any binary, versioned, and control if it appears in your repo or just a little pointer file.

What's the point of that? You can't fully resurrect all artifacts ever or you'll waste a day downloading until you run out of disk space, so all you get is the pointer files. At which point you could just as well store a the hash of something in an object store, without LFS.
