"The `alt` prop cannot be empty string if role="presentation" is not set" when it is about react-a11y

Yes this does look like a bug. It looks like the "The img does not have an alt prop..." rule is not checking for role="presentation". We can look into this.

Hi, I tried replicating the same but the rule is working fine when we just specify the role and alt like below
<img src={logo} className="App-logo" alt="" role="Testing bug" /> throwing this warning in terminal
Elements with ARIA roles must use a valid, non-abstract ARIA role jsx-a11y/aria-role

But when we pass the props using an object as below
let allyProps = {}; allyProps.alt = ''; allyProps.role = 'dsfkdsf';

<img src={logo} className="App-logo" {...allyProps} /> then it throws the following warning

img elements must have an alt prop, either with meaningful text, or an empty string for decorative images jsx-a11y/alt-text

But the DOM elements looks same in both the scenarios

EDIT: I just looked back over to the Readme for react-a11y to see the deprecation notice, will not pursue this issue.
I'm down to explore this issue, I'll test it out to see if it still exists, and if so, get digging on why the warning is getting thrown
