I have to disagree with that for several reasons:

 • Adds dependencies (QR library) not needed for libravatar operation.
 • QRs have nothing to do with libravatar: plugin name would be misleading.
 • Complicates the whole plugin logic, it's cleaner to have it separated.
 • The idea behind the avatar refactoring is precisely having separate plugins
   for separate avatar types, not a super-complicated avatar-hungry plugin for
   everything.
 • People interested in libravatar are probably not interested in QR (since
   their goals are pretty different). This can change if multi-avatar display
   is implemented, but even in that case having it as a separate plugin works
   equally well, so no problem anyway.
 • It's already implemented as a separate plugin, why make more changes to make
   future changes/maintenance more complicated? :)
