Is this a current issue?

I used Git LFS with a GitLab instance this week, seemed to work fine.

I also used Git LFS with my Gitea instance a week before that, it was fine too.

At the same time it feels odd to hear mentions of LFS being deprecated in the future, while I’ve seldom seen anyone even use it - people just don’t seem to care and shove images and such into regular Git which puzzles me.
