Comment (by mojca):
I would lean towards `+doc` myself, but I don't have a super strong
opinion, except that I agree that it would be nice to unify these
variants.
Smooth transition in not a technical problem (we did the transition from
`no_x11` to `x11` in the past, for example, see #39383), you just need the
work(force) to address every single port. For x11 it probably took a few
years :) You keep an empty variant with the legacy name, and if that
variant is active, activate the new name. After a year remove the legacy
variant This will at least work for users who explicitly enabled the
variant. It won't work for users who disabled the variant.
