Mine would be based on how it gets implemented. Are we talking about a default CSS implementation, or actually altering the avatars so they are rounded at upload? If we are talking CSS, I have zero complaints, as it provides a way for those who want something different (square, diamond, whatever) to do so.

If we are talking alter the file at upload, then that really restricts the flexibility and design others can choose without a plugin that can hook into uploads.
