This is a partial revert of #42588. There is a usability concern reported in #44294 that was not considered in the discussion of the PR, so I would like to back this out of 1.21. As is, I think users would have a worse and more confusing experience with this lint enabled by default. We can re-enabled once there are better diagnostics or the case in #44294 does not trigger the lint.

This area, both error messages and imports, is changing very rapidly. I think @aturon is taking the lead on imports - what do you think of disabling the lint?

I had to disable the lint in multiple occasions in my code due to false positives of it... so definitely a 👍 from me. I'm not annoyed that I have to #![allow] the lint, I'm more annoyed that I have to allow it so many times. Optimally you could just do #![every_use_of_this_crate_is_legal] in your lib.rs and the lint won't fire for your crate. But until we have that disabling is probably a good path.

The issue (false positives connected to linking) has been discussed here before. EDIT: I've opened #44827 to discuss my suggestion.

I'd also say that there is probably another question to discuss which is how to handle the lint in the future when extern crate is treated as legacy. Will we still have the lint? Will rustc parse Cargo.toml? Or will it instead communicate that it didn't have use for a crate somehow to Cargo, which then prints the lint itself? That would mean more communication between rustc and cargo.

Could we stop triggering the lint for crates with #[no_mangle] extern fn ... functions or #[link="..."] extern {/*...*/} in it.
