Comment (by sabreuse):

 The complaints we've gotten seem to be mostly (maybe all?) about removing
 titles from images, where they're used for xkcd-style punchlines. These
 all appear to be tooltips on links -- mostly things like "see all posts in
 $category". Furthermore, the proposed changes don't do anything to take
 away the end user's ability to add a tooltip to their own links in
 content.

 +1 to remove, because of the accessibility concerns and not just for
 random clutter-busting.
