Rubocop brings with it a certain amount of maintenence burden and
keeping project level config files means they're always somewhat out of date.
Additionally, we already have thoughtbot/guides which is the
source of truth.

This removes that to see if we get the right outcome.

@nickcharlton will this change mean hound won't be able to post suggestions to ruby code? Would that be a desirable outcome given that this project receives quite a lot of PRs?

Thankfully, no. Hound supports an organisation wide configuration:

The one thing I did notice that we do do in our local .rubocop.yml is:

AllCops:
  Exclude:
    - spec/example_app/db/schema.rb

…which means that now we'd likely get complaints by Rubocop as it won't be ignored. But I think this is a small price to pay for not having another configuration file.

Thanks for the insight, that was a great explanation. I completely agree with you.
