Comment (by r-a-y):

 A more, conservative approach is to ping Gravatar when a user logs in or
 out and if this user has a new Gravatar, we bust the cache.

 When we move to using meta for avatars, we'll also have to be DB query-
 conscious.  Will probably have to add the avatar query to BP_User_Query.

 Also, we can't forget about groups that use Identicon from Gravatar.  So
 it's a can of worms.

 I'm guessing that the Gravatar team will address this sooner rather than
 later though.
