From a rapid inspection, it looks like bake has no package depending or build-depending on it. It also has a very low popcon score[0] and no upstream in the last 5 years, and almost (all?) these features can achieved with other build tools. Given these details, I'd say that bake didn't fit well in the natural evolution of make-like tools, and has been superseded by other methods. Thus, I'd propose its removal. OTOH I acknowledge the importance of the availability of build helper, so if you can list a bunch of (not dead) projects depending on it, it'll be surely enough to keep it.
