They would be easy to add.
That said All the other type systems (CGS, MKS, imperial, etc.) only have
those 5 and I find claiming the the last two are base units just a bit silly
(candelas are defined in terms of power, stradians and an arbitrary curve
and moles are a count). I left them out in protest but I'll add them if anyone
cares enough to make much of an issue of it.
