Comment (by felixdorner):

 I wonder why this is still a ticket for 4 years now. This should be
 definitely in core for a number of reasons:

 1. WordPress attracts also non-geeks - not everyone has a Gravatar Account
 - it is even nowhere close to be an industry standard
 2. Not everyone wants to display the same Gravatar on every connected
 service - some just want different avatars for different sites
 3. Local avatars can be changed more easily and faster
 4. It just don't feel right to make users dependent on a third-party
 service - Gravatar support as a fallback might be the better idea

 For me this is a no-brainer but I guess the Gravatar lobby is pretty
 strong here.
