Nice! This seems like a fix we definitely want because the referenced issue is definitely some crazy behavior!
The major purpose of the error message updates was to resolve a situation where you know that serde 1.0.39 is published but when you try to use it Cargo keeps saying it doesn't exist. The "by the way you're offline" is a hint to go find something passing --offline, either yourself or some tool in the middle.
I think that the error message here clearly indicates that (aka if you hit an error it says you're offline so you can go hunting). There's still more error messages coming out of the resolver because we may not pick up newer versions, but the error messages here in the resolver weren't changed so it'll only show for the more obscure resolver errors rather than the bland "this package wasn't downloaded" situation.
All that to say that I think this is a great fix, thanks @ehuss!

As a meta note, I personally find "assert does not contain" as a not-very-useful assertion in test suites because there's so many output that don't contain the string. For example if unused_dep here had a typo the test would pass but not because we thought it would.
That's where all the original tests from long ago do exhaustive checking of the output which allows for easily detecting bugs/changes. The downside of those tests though is that if you change the output it's really annoying to change the tests, and we have quite a few tests now!
(JFYI)

I agree. There is a note in the doc that it is dangerous. Whenever I use it, I try to write the test first so it fails, and then it should only pass when fixed. However, that doesn't really protect from the future when things change. I'll leave some notes in #6816.

@bors: r+ Always wanted to test and see if bors learned comments from pull request reviews, and now I know the answer is "no" |

Resolve: Be less strict while offline. When offline, the resolver was requiring everything to be downloaded, even dependencies that are not used. This changes it so that the resolver can still resolve unavailable dependencies when offline. This pushes the failure to a later stage of Cargo where it attempts to download the dependency. This makes `-Z offline` work for target-cfg or optional dependencies that are not being used. Fixes #6014. This changes the error message significantly for the "unavailable" case (see test diff). I personally think the new error message is clearer, although it is shorter and provides less information. The old error message seemed large and scary, and was a little hard for me to grok. However, I'd be willing to look at tweaking the error behavior if not everyone agrees.
