In https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.4.html#api-and-feature-removals,It is said "inspect.Signature: positional-only parameters are now required to have a valid name." 
But in https://docs.python.org/3/library/inspect.html?highlight=3.4#inspect.Signature, the actual change happened in inspect.Parameter, " Changed in version 3.4: In Python 3.3 Parameter objects were allowed to have name set to None if their kind was set to POSITIONAL_ONLY. This is no longer permitted."
So I wonder is it a mistake?

I don't think they are conflict.

"now required to have a valid name."
"were allowed to have name set to None [snip]  This is no longer permitted."

"None" is not "valid name".
