The link is correct; that document describes the new-style class method resolution order, which is what Python3 uses.  However, the title is a bit problematic, and either the title should be changed or the link from the Python3 docs should have a gloss explaining why the document is in fact the correct link.

Here is the patch with the suggested wording.

The wording looks good in spirit. I just have a couple nits to pick with the grammar:

* Why change from “See” to “Refer”? “Refer to” would work better I think; but “See” was fine too IMO.

* I think it is better without “document”. Just “See / Refer to <2.3 MRO> for details”.

* I would insert “the” in “since the 2.3 release”.
