Things like gravatar fetching should default to off, even in the git version. I realize you'd like to see people test it, but "private by default" is the way the world ought to be, at all times. I should not that I'm not accusing gravatar of being sinister. Their privacy policy looks good, although it doesn't clearly say "we keep no logs of which IP addresses looked up which gravatars". The point is rather that each person should decide to deal with them or not, and someone who just does 'git pull; make; make install' should not suddenly find themselves making queries to their server. I might even turn this on myself for a while. obtechnical: it would be cool if using the cache for display was enablable separately from fetching.
