This task was added in commit 2b9b78e38. According to the notes in the
pull request introducing the change:
> If you have had [map validations] in production, you might want to run
> the rake task votes:reset_vote_counter to reset the cached votes
> counter. Otherwise, until there is another vote for a proposal, the
> counter will not be updated, and there might be some votes which are
> not yet displayed
In short, this was a task that was introduced for a specific release and
had to be run manually. So we can remove it now.
We were very inconsistent regarding these rules.
Personally I prefer no empty lines around blocks, clases, etc... as
recommended by the Ruby style guide [1], and they're the default values
in rubocop, so those are the settings I'm applying.
The exception is the `private` access modifier, since we were leaving
empty lines around it most of the time. That's the default rubocop rule
as well. Personally I don't have a strong preference about this one.
