 * Hey
 * What about suggesting to add your plugin as a features as plugin for core?
 * These days there is a call for features as plugins:
    [https://make.wordpress.org/core/](https://make.wordpress.org/core/)**
   Feature plugins in 4.2 and beyond **
 * It would be great to have alternatives to using only a Gravatar in core.

 * Hi Paal,
 * This plugin has been started as a core ticket (see [#16020](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16020))
   some time ago. I will try to propose it again. Thank you for your support!
 * Best regards,
    Cătălin

 * Hey
 * What about creating an update on the trac ticket and see if there is a response
   from others? It is a very easy thing to add something like this to Core. I do
   not understand why it has not been added already. I am guessing there is resistance
   wanting to force people to either use a gravatar or install an avatar plugin.
 * Another way. Which would be of benefit for many so they can have a choice.
 * What about creating a more compact snippet anyone can add to their child theme
   functions file? Instead of having to use a plugin for this feature. I try and
   keep plugins to a minimum.
