See #95065 (comment) by Serhiy. Quoting:

Turn positional-or-keyword parameters into positional-only parameters. A directive which means "the preceding positional-or-keyword parameters will be positional-only parameters in future".

In #95151, Argument Clinic learned how to deprecate positional use of parameters. In this issue, we propose to teach Argument Clinic how to deprecate keyword use of parameters.

Suggesting to use a similar syntax as the one introduced in #95151

func
   a: object
   / [from X.Y]

Meaning a will be positional-only from Python version X.Y. We can reuse parts of the code introduced in #95151 to implement this feature.

… use of parameters

It is now possible to deprecate passing keyword arguments for
keyword-or-positional parameters with Argument Clinic, using the new
'/ [from X.Y]' syntax.
(To be read as "positional-only from Python version X.Y")
