It would still have broken the gate, we test if docs build on every commit.

I think the bigger question is if we believe that a c compiler should be
required to build docs on a python project. Which seems really weird to
me. And a substantially higher barrier to entry than I think we want for
docs contributions.

There was only 1 use of this in all of Nova, and I think we're better
off removing it and coming up with other ways of addressing it.
