I haven't been following the thread, but just wanted to mention something that caught me out when I was learning to use deferreds.
Both the old deferred documentation and your fix-up fail to mention addCallbacks() until near the end, when in practice I find addCallbacks() to be much more useful than addCallback(). The diagram near the top demonstrating the deferred process also implies the use of addCallbacks(), even though prior to this only addCallback() and addErrback() have been mentioned. This confused me into thinking a consecutive addCallback().addErrback() would register a callback and an errback at the same point in the processing chain. Apart from this point I found the old documentation very clear. If you really want the idiots guide I think you need animated diagrams, or something, but I don't see that happening.
