Comment (by nacin):

 In [18513]'s case, `get_user_by()` is also pluggable. Presumably, if one
 is plugging the user_by functions, they're plugging all of them.

 Frankly, I care very little about the promise of most pluggable functions.
 The auth ones, sure. But then there's `get_avatar()`, a fairly high-level
 function that, if I had to take a guess, is commonly overridden to use
 something other than Gravatar. I wish it were never pluggable and that it
 simply had just the filter (which was introduced at the same time).

 I don't know — maybe we can get away with ditching it, deprecating it, and
 just using a new `wp_get_avatar()`, and anyone who is currently overriding
 `get_avatar()` just gets screwed and told they should have been using the
 filter.
