If your binary files are not huge you can always add them directly to your repo (they don't have a repo file size limit anymore). If we're talking about multiple GB just go for S3, we're talking about cents per month.

Don't do that. After a while it really adds up and slows down cloning times.

Yeah, I'll likely end up using S3. Or maybe even bitbucket.

But there's a very real and somewhat irrational negative emotional response when going from free to not-free. Or alternatively, from included in private costs to a paid for feature taken away.

Any time a feature is removed you are going to get people whining, no matter how small the feature.

Or each repo might have a corresponding repo where only binaries are pushed, and probably the raw link might be used as a workaround.
