 The current buddypress handling of avatars in antiquated and does not
 allow the flexibility that will be needed going foward

 Right now you can two sizes only. But avatars should be able to have
 multiple sizes in the same way that attachment images do and one should be
 able to register the various sizes. They should also support pixel density
 and be responsive so they need srcset.

 Ideally you’d just crop a very large image into a square and it would
 generate a set of sizes for use in things like open graph or blocks

 AFAICT this can only be achieved by putting avatars in the database.

 I’ve not looked at the buddypress attachments api that is ongoing. Does
 this use a database table? If so the l maybe this could be piggy backed.
