demoted because though this is noisy, it's not actually preventing things from getting done here

THis violates: 1.1. Do all controls and images have meaningful labels?
THe current label is not meaningful, but the proposed one is.
Hmm... I actually think "Default blue avatar" is pretty meaningful... at least as meaningful as "Blue".

Maybe it would be more meaningful to say "Generic blue avatar" or "Generic blue mannequin head"?

Marking won't fix for now because I think the current label is equally meaningful. Feel free to re-open if you object -- or instant message or email me. :)
