Users have had issues with the GitLFS dependency and unreliability across platforms. To remedy this, I am proposing utilizing Zenodo's REST API for the example data that usually accompanies a release. This can be accessed by a get_example_data call if the user wishes to install it. Another advantage to this approach is that it will give advanced users the ability to opt out of carrying the example data overhead.
