This pylint rule has a tendency to be overzealous when we're dealing with optional packages that we don't require to be installed, with compiled modules, and with packages which dynamically mutate the Python path look-up. Overall, it was giving far more false positives than anything else, and a failure-to-import should be abundantly obvious from a standard test run, so we shouldn't be _effectively_ losing coverage.

Summary
This pylint rule has a tendency to be overzealous when we're dealing with optional packages that we don't require to be installed, with compiled modules, and with packages which dynamically mutate the Python path look-up. Overall, it was giving far more false positives than anything else, and a failure-to-import should be abundantly obvious from a standard test run, so we shouldn't be effectively losing coverage.
Details and comments
With the work in #8967 moving to do more testing of the no-optionals paths, and to make a cleaner split between "optional package" and "development package", the additional pain pylint is causing with its overzealous
import-errormakes it more worthwhile to remove now. Python importability cannot generally be determined statically, despite what pylint tries.
