remove /images directory from repo to avoid encouraging people to add images to repos!

At present there is an /images directory in the project:
https://github.com/dwyl/learn-travis/tree/a597ff014c145bd16e3827294b1cd9d8c9c86a73/images
I used to think that storing the image file (binary) in the repository was a good way of including images in a README.md ... I was wrong. The most effective way is to upload the image to GitHub's CDN and then include a link to it in the markdown.
Why do we want to keep people from adding images?
I mean, a good schematic is always nice, right?
@Fl4m3Ph03n1x perhaps I did not make this clear.
I agree that images are a great form of communication.
There is no advantage to bloating a git/GitHub repository with images
because their binary nature is not easy to track changes as text.
