Comment (by joedolson):

 Content like alt attributes and captions are specific to how an image is
 used; if changes in the media library were propagated to all uses of that
 image, then it would be impossible to have context-sensitive text
 associated with an image.

 For an example use case, the alt text for an image that's linked should be
 about the resource linked to; but the alt text for the same image on the
 target page should be a description of the image. In order to make that
 work, alt text needs to be usage-specific.

 In my opinion, this should be a `wontfix`.
