Comment (by sippis):

 This is a quite small change but really important from my point of view.
 Just noticed that Freedome (privacy VPN from f-secure) blocks requests to
 gravatar when using http. Haven't tested other privacy products like
 privacy badger, but I can image that some other tools are also blocking
 unsecure gravatar.

 I think there's really no reason why we shouldn't use always
 secure.gravatar.com.
