huh?

rdoc shouldn't update hoe or any other gem. Rubygems should...

What I don't understand is how you installed a newer rdoc that  
requires a newer hoe, but somehow didn't update hoe. Either something  
messed up with your install and dependencies weren't updated (usually  
they're first tho) or... I have no idea.

Actually... this is odd:

dependencies:
- !ruby/object:Gem::Dependency
   name: hoe
   type: :development
   version_requirement:
   version_requirements: !ruby/object:Gem::Requirement
     requirements:
     - - ">="
       - !ruby/object:Gem::Version
         version: 1.7.0
     version:

hoe is a developer dependency, so it shouldn't be activated when you  
use the rdoc cmdline tool. I think you might have a mix of rdoc  
versions?
