Comment (by joedolson):

 This seems very use-case specific. In some contexts, replacing an image
 could need to retain the same alt text, but there's an equal or greater
 chance that you'll need a different alt text.

 I think that this needs to remain the author's responsibility to verify
 and address alt text; there's no programmatic option we could pick that
 would be reliably "correct", so it's best to consistently use the alt text
 that's currently stored with the image.

 I'll leave this open for a few days if @rahultank has any additional
 follow-up, but I don't think this is something we're likely to change.
