Comment (by filosofo):

 I wish we would go the other way and remove the existing radio buttons.
 Gravatars are particular to a theme: if a theme designer hasn't made use
 of the function call, then the radio buttons do nothing.  I don't think
 there is another core admin option quite so dependent on a particular
 theme's design.

 Instead, I've attached a patch for an action hook on that settings page
 that would allow themes or plugins to add in an indefinite variety of
 geegaws.
