Comment (by Null):

 Though I agree with what you are saying, I think this hook should be
 there. There are like 5 plugins needing something like this (avatar, post
 count, etc) and I think thats enough to justify a hook for this. Also
 looking at WP intergration (also avatars etc) this would be handy...

 I'm just closing this janitorially (is that even a word?).
