Right, we do this already.

I don't like this. The documentation space on pypi is offered as a
space for projects that's convenient or where they otherwise wouldn't
be able to host their own documentation website. It's not something I
wish to force people to use (just like package upload isn't something
we force people to do), and stating "no documentation" would be a bit
of a lie in a bunch of cases. Even with additional clarifying wording
it's still a negative statement that I don't think we need to make.
