</div>For interest's sake, I just ran the numbers on my largest codebase (a<br>
proprietary application, sorry); ratio of addCallbacks to (addCallback<br>
+ addErrback) is around 0.05.<br>

Also, looking at the actual uses of addCallbacks (15), they were all written by people other than me (relative Twisted newbies) and I don't think I would have used it where it's used now. This, I think, indicates that we *should* focus more on addCallback and addErrback in the documentation, and stress that they are almost always what you want to use instead of addCallbacks, but definitely point out where addCallbacks is useful.</div>
