It's been a while since I looked into what Git was up to in the latest version.

The release notes mentioned protocol improvements with git-filter that can dramatically speed up git-LFS (the large file storage plugin).

Does anyone know if there are any plans to make git-LFS part of the base instead of an add on?

There is work going on about external object database support that could help in the long run:

(I am working on this for GitLab.)

I'd assume there's licensing issues before anything else: git-lfs is MIT licensed, git GPLv2.

It's a compatible license, so it's not an issue.
