    33Because it comes baked into !WordPress, we get a huge avatar distribution network for free, and it serves billions of images every month.

    5 Per a Skype chat, I think this is an educational issue about keeping the default avatar publicly accessible for 1.7. Later on, we can store the URL to the user's avatar (Gravatar or otherwise) in usermeta, and perform whatever logic we need in a BP_Avatar class. It's a complicated enough piece of code that it deserves its own architecture.

    77Since !BuddyPress doesn't load avatars without some kind of user/group/blog information available to it, we should have already queried that object, cached it's results, and have nothing to lose by keeping an avatar URL in meta.
