  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.
