2 years ago Gravatar has several issues why it should be blocked everywhere ;) One is the global breach of all insecure md5 hashes, and the other is that it can't handle unicode because you can't register at wordpress with unicode email address.
In certain areas of this world Gravatar is blocked for whatever silly reason. There are alternative proxies such as Libravatar See an example in action:
https://seccdn.libravatar.org/gravatarproxy/6a47eeb728f63ec47960fdeffffe750aWould it be very complex to implement this alongside the already existing Gravatar implementation? Having an avatar next to the mail address in the overview adds a lot to the UX.
