> It solves real problem when you are tired of having to double your git server CPUs every 6 months

Putting blobs into an SCM was always a bad idea, but in git it's particularly bad because the whole tree is always checked out at once. (I think last year a major change was added, that makes blob handling slightly more efficient though)

Still, I think there is still no independently developed git lfs server. I know, most people don't run git servers themselves but in the LFS use case it actually makes sense. There is also git annex which is completely open and free but adoption is very poor and the handling is even more obscure.
