The UserModel has a 'photo' attribute and several methods to get photo urls, but it doesn't follow any of the existing Asset model functionality. It would be great if we could handle user photos the same way Assets are handled: external storage, etc.

This User Photo field becomes even more confusing when the default size is not the size you need for your user photos and you have to add a secondary Assets field to accomplish what you need. At that point, the original field becomes something you have to explain to people how not to use in the UI.
