Furthermore, the 3.4 release notes contain a warning saying "The Argument Clinic PEP is not fully up to date with the state of the implementation." It does not look like this situation has improved since.
It hasn't. The PEP lags behind the implementation. The HOWTO is up-to-date though.
The practical question is: does it make sense to invest time in learning the clinic DSL and converting more modules (e.g. datetime) to it or it is likely that the whole approach will be revised in the future?
AFAIK the Clinic DSL can handle all of Python's C extensions. I have no plans to "revise the whole approach"; if someone else does I haven't heard about it. //arry/
