In fact, right at the top of that CED page is an introduction that I think is pretty clear for such a powerful topic:
Introduction to Instability
---------------------------
Rewriting changesets may introduce **instability**.
There are two main kinds of **unstable** changesets: **orphaned** changesets and **divergent** changesets.
**Orphans** are changesets left behind when their ancestors are rewritten.
**Divergence** has two variants:
- **Content-divergence** occurs when independent rewrites of the same changeset lead to different results.
- **Phase-divergence** occurs when the old (obsolete) version of a changeset becomes public.
---
I'm probably biased because I helped write this (and I just cleaned it up and added emphasis), but I think it's pretty clear.
