Folks who are so against it should probably also just run RequestPolicy
(or its equivalent in $favorite_browser) and opt-out completely. I'm not
a huge fan of gravatar, but I also block access to it, so I'm not too
concerned.

Really, if people are so against using proprietary infrastructure in
such a black-and-white fashion, I'd like to know their ISP ;) .
