I don't know about libravatar, but ISTR that gravatar was found
to do some sort of surveillance of users. Is that correct?
Was libravatar intended as a replacement to respect users' privacy
more than gravatar?
But it seems there is a problem with using libravatar, right?
If that is the case, we should not think of "use gravatar"
as a _solution_. It might fix an urgent problem, but we
would not want it as a permanent change. A real solution
is to make libravatar work well.
If what is needed is async DNS lookup, how about running
a shell command asynchronously to do it?
