WPS306 seems outdated

[Dreamsorcerer]

WPS306 requires inheriting from object. This seems like a rather dated approach for Python 3 code.

The doc has a 'See also' link which further proves the point and contradicts the wemake rule, saying that it's preferable without object, and lists the other approach as 'Ancient'.

I'm even in favor of making the opposite rule: "don't inherit a class from object, it's no use in Python 3"

For some reason Python developers are incorrectly interpreting this rule. (Maybe because of the damaging past)

The idea of this rule is not about python2 vs python3. It is about consistency of class A(object): vs class B(A):
We always have our base class in ().

Consistent: class A(object): vs class B(A):
Inconsistent: class A: vs class B(A):

That's it. Please, don't search any historic issues here.

OK, but that's not clear from the text. I expect the "See also" to help confirm the reasoning, but here it directly contradicts the rule.

Yes, docs can be misleading and should be fixed! Thanks!
