You keep saying that, but I don't understand why: I still see on the

OK, I grepped for dir-locals-file-2 in the whole emacs repo, and all I get is:
etc/NEWS:369:19:See the variable 'dir-locals-file-2' for more information.
etc/DOC:46209:11:See also `dir-locals-file-2', whose values override this one's.
etc/DOC:46210:64:See Info node `(elisp)Directory Local Variables' for details. Vdir-locals-file-2

lisp/files.el:3911:11:(defconst dir-locals-file-2 ".dir-locals-2.el"
ChangeLog.2:9419:3: (dir-locals-file-2, dir-locals--all-files): Remove.
ChangeLog.2:9935:3: (dir-locals-file-2): New const.
I see defconst dir-locals-file-2, but I don't see it being used anywhere. So I thought that the feature was removed.
But when you said that emacs-26 still has the feature (yay!), I looked at files.el again.. and of course the feature is there:
I see this in dir-locals--all-files:
(file-2 (when (string-match "\\.el\\'" file-1)
(replace-match "-2.el" t nil file-1)))
So.. there's an issue, though of a different kind.. may be dir-locals-file-2 mention should be removed? Or instead be used in the code?
