Public bug reported:

You can choose not to have a profile picture in Mahara. However, when
remote avatars are allowed and a user has one of those, it is displayed
by default and cannot be changed to the anonymous picture.

In my opinion, this is a bug. The Gravatar should be listed amongst the
profile pictures as well and it should be possible to choose any of the
6 or none. At the moment it is not transparent that the Gravatar can
actually be displayed as there is no mention of it on the Profile
Pictures page. Only the site admin knows if gravatars are allowed or
not.

It would get even more complicated if Libravatar becomes possible: Which
remote avatar takes precedence?
