Comment (by andrija):

 Hello @sabernhardt, I'd like to tackle this as my first bug.

 Can you help me brainstorm the best solution, please?

 Currently, the default value of `use_desc_for_title` is 1.
 If I set it to 0, then the HTML <a> tag will have no `title` attribute at
 all.

 - Should we remove that default arg, then we'll never have the <a> `title`
 attribute
 - Should we change the behavior of ''\src\wp-includes\class-walker-
 category.php:125'' to simply use `$category->name` if `use_desc_for_title`
 is 1, but that simply sounds wrong
 - Should we add an `} else {` there so we always have the `title`
 attribute in the <a> tag, with the `$category->description` if
 `use_desc_for_title` is 1 and `$category->name` if `use_desc_for_title` is
 0

 I guess the last solution would work, what do you think?
