 This rule forbids using another component's prop types unless they are explicitly imported/exported. This allows people who want to use [babel-plugin-transform-react-remove-prop-types](https://github.com/oliviertassinari/babel-plugin-transform-react-remove-prop-types) to remove propTypes from their components in production builds, to do so safely.
 
-In order to ensure that imports are explicitly exported it is recommended to use the ["named" rule in eslint-plugin-import](https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import/blob/master/docs/rules/named.md) in conjunction with this rule.

 ## When Not To Use It
 
 This rule aims to make a certain production optimization, removing prop types, less prone to error. This rule may not be relevant to you if you do not wish to make use of this optimization.
