With PEP 570 implementation docs were expanded : https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/b76302ddd0896cb39ce69909349b53db6e7776e2#diff-d764089fca21fdc70d55804714b1cba5

I don't think we should backport the changes or modify the file for the 3.7 branch, so I close the issue. Feel free to reopen if you still think it makes sense :)
