I agree on principle, but sometimes programmatic generating test data is not so easy.

E.g.: I have a specific JPEG committed into a repository because it triggers a specific issue when reading its metadata. It's not just _random_ data, but specific bogus data.

But yeah, if the test blob is purely random, then you can just commit a seed and generate in during tests.
