Describe your issue or idea
I want to make ALT tags on images required. There is a module I could port but I think this should probably be in core and active as a default for new image fields. Side note: I also see that D8 has this in core:

From that D8 issue:
Alternative attribute text is required for images to ensure a site meets WCAG accessibility guidelines. When adding an image field to a content type, the alt text field is currently optional meaning Drupal sites often fail accessibility audits until alt text is added to images.
Note: This issue does not relate to images added via CKeditor. It relates to changing the default setting on the image field to require the alt attribute.

Hi Francis. Yes, what config do you have in staging for it? You might have configs like: field.field.field_video_embed field.instance.node.page....
