This is not a vote. The DOCS option in this port exists for a reason.

The burden is from a port maintenance perspective of having to needlessly keep
track of multiple ports especially when non-essential functionality is split
out. It leads to neglect and rot on the split port when we forget to also keep
it in sync during updates to the original port, no matter how many reminder
comments in the Makefile are present. It gets worse when reconciling with
quarterly. And now scientific Python (numpy and scipy) have stopped offering
online docs for every minor version starting with the respective current
release branches; we are already seeing that with scipy 1.17.1 (the docs
tarballs are generated from the same sources).

This anti-pattern will not be entertained. Docs will not be split. No if, ands
or buts about it.
