sure we should invest such an effort: after all, what's there does
work, so why fix that which ain't broken?

.. because the documentation is incorrect. The dir-locals-file-2 variable is useless at this point. 

I am volunteering to remove references to dir-locals-file-2 everywhere and mention the "-2.el" file instead in dir-locals-file doc-string and other places where dir-locals-file-2 is currently mentioned.
