There are many exceptions to that. E.g.
A002144, Pythagorean primes: primes of form 4n+1
could be defined as "primes with last digit 1 in base 4", but it doesn't
have the base keyword. Neither do:
A030430, Primes of form 10n+1
A030431, Primes of form 10n+3
A030432, Primes of form 10n+7
A030433, Primes of form 10n+9
A045465, Primes congruent to {0, 1} mod 7
A045392, Primes congruent to {2} mod 7
A045437, Primes congruent to 3 mod 7
The sequences
A061237, Prime numbers == 1 (mod 9)
A061238, Prime numbers == 2 (mod 9)
A061239, Prime numbers == 4 (mod 9)
A061240, Prime numbers == 5 (mod 9)
A061241, Prime numbers == 7 (mod 9)
A061242, Prime numbers == 8 (mod 9)
do have the base keyword, but I don't think they should.
