Ask HN: Any downside to using Gravatar?

I'm re-opening anonymous commenting on one of my sites and am wondering if anyone has an opinion about using or not using Gravatar for user images.

    I'm honestly surprised that more sites don't use it. It's a really easy way to get some quick info on the poster / user.

    We've actually incorporated it into our admin dashboard.
