Comment (by cdog):

 Replying to [comment:38 rmccue]:
 > The examples you noted are social networks, so they have their own
 avatars, whereas most other sites don't. See GitHub (which is basically a
 social network), StackOverflow (ditto), etc. (Note that these are
 technology-focussed sites, so that's slightly biased.)
 The Envato marketplaces (ThemeForest, CodeCanyon etc.) are technology-
 focused sites too and they don't have support for Gravatar.

 Thinking again the situation. Mixing both options (Gravatar and self-
 hosted avatars) doesn't seem right for core. Obviously, replacing Gravatar
 is not a good choice either. Perhaps moving it into a separate plugin
 would be the most appropriate solution.

 Closing it as wontfix would be fine for me. But let's wait for nacin and
 scribu to confirm and take a decision.
