Can we detect base distribution with this module ?

I was wondering is there any way to detect base distribution of distro ? I found base() method in issues but it seems has been removed #36 If we can't do it now, why?

Hi @0ne-zero, if your distribution supports it, you can use distro.like method which is based on OS-RELEASE(5) ID_LIKE entry. It may contain space-separated identifiers, specified by distribution maintainers. Please tell us if this could help you.
