I don't think so: we can just remove doc-base without providing a
replacement at the same time too.
Personally I don't know anyone using doc-base (probably most don't even
know it exists). If doc-base has indeed no users (or very few users),
it just creates work for maintainers for no real benefit.
As [1] says, doc-base had 20+ years to get adopted. I think it is fair
to say that it failed to do so.
