This is the approach we take with our linter. And it sucks. Because sometimes you really do want to have a code approach. Our remote cache rules have a couple twists (developers can read from remote or read/write to local, presubmit server doesn't use cache at all, and CI does read/write to remote. Yeah, you could code that all up into a plugin, but the rollout strategy for plugins isn't the cleanest. And it would just be more hidden, opaque, implicit behavior.
