Description

'''keybase push -su'''

...for a key that has a picture attached seems to strip it off when you...

'''keybase pull'''

...PEBKAC at my end or a consequence of #473?

Having read #473 I kind of understand your position but I suspect you'll find that the average user will find "proving the connection between your public key and your public accounts" too abstract a proposition without that public key being a strong representation of their on-line presence.
You're going to have to offer a lot of value for people to hand over the details of how all their on-line accounts are linked together (i.e. joe blogs on twitter is joe blogs 1984 on facebook), aside from the fact that a lot of the same people will also be trusting you with their encrypted private key as well. Complicated issue.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported sequence with `keybase push -su` followed by `keybase pull` on a key that has an attached picture. Trace the push and pull entry points to determine whether the photo attribute is lost, and consider the issue resolved when the attribute is preserved or the behavior is documented as intentional.
