Description: 

Starting in Drupal 7, hook_hook_info() allows modules to specify that certain hooks live in files other than a .module file. As with many such hooks, it included a corresponding alter hook, hook_hook_info_alter().

In Drupal 8, hook_hook_info_alter() has been removed as it resulted in too much complexity for little discernible value. The way that info hook definitions are merged has also changed such that modules can safely implement hook_hook_info() on behalf of core modules without causing PHP errors, eliminating the need for this hook.
