I mean, it's not a hard and fast rule: "The LMI> shall be no external services!" It's more... "Is this external service LMI> really useful?" Why not unite picons, faces, and Gravatars into a consistent framework using backends, so when and if gravatar.com goes away, for instance, we can just remove that backend? They all behave similarly, right? It seems like gnus-gravatar.el duplicates a lot of gnus-picon.el so that would be a chance to reduce the amount of code, too. Ted
