We need to get rid of user pictures and use build in fields instead. See related Drupal issues:

Also for reference, here is the change record.

We need to lock the user picture field so it doesn't get deleted.

Actually, it seems like when the user picture is a regular field, we won't need to rely on any special code to display it in the templates. And we should probably let people delete the field if they wish.

What we really need to do is make sure that any user-picture-specific functions that are called don't error once the field is converted and possibly deleted by the user.

This will consolidate things and reduce custom code, but it is also a UX issue. When a user profile picture has been added, there is a "Delete picture" checkbox, with a "Check this box to delete your current picture." help text, which is really odd and counter-intuitive (there is also no information re the filename etc.):

Whereas regular image fields provide a "Remove" button instead:
