Are you sure? The lint is actually disabled, as I mention in 5e7c9b84ad08.

Thus it seems to me Clippy would still complain about it just fine.

It doesn't mean we shouldn't remove it, though.

Do you mean using the lint reasons feature? IIRC we discussed at some
point doing that when the feature was added (we enabled it for the
`expect` side of things).

For non-obvious cases or uncommon lints, it would be definitely nice
(a comment is also OK). I am not sure if it is worth enforcing it for
every single case, though.

It would be nice if `clippy::allow_attributes_without_reason` could be
enabled just for `allow`, or ignore it for certain lints.

Cheers,
Miguel
