From a web accessibility point of view, it's good to either have alt="Something descriptive" or an empty alt="" - as said by xin. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/Img#Attributes. Quoting from there: "Setting this attribute to an empty string (alt="") indicates that this image is not a key part of the content, and that non-visual browsers may omit it from rendering." I did not look at the branch but it should not completely remove the alt, just its contents when necessary.
