Sorta no, but if caching wouldn't add too much load on our end, cache, otherwise lets just hotlink -- hopefully they're at most 1k.
Having our own copy means potentially copyright issues ( "this is our userhead, why is it hosted on your site?!?!?!?" ), we'd have to keep up with icons changing for the site ( Yeah, changing can be bad too but then we'd have people going "uh, why is DW using <old icon> for AO3, they changed that MONTHS ago" ), etc...
