all very good BUT,.

I would rather see built in the core option that would let users upload their own picture as avatar..

the user profile has all these fields:
Name
Username Usernames cannot be changed.
Role
First Name
Last Name
Nickname (required)
Display name publicly as
Contact Info

Email (required)
Website

it's all good, we have a toolbar at the top, where users can access their profile
And yet, NO chance to upload the image natively without a plugin.. :((((
