Instead of a just a link it would be better to have the explanation
directly in the cookbook. For 2.x release we should start another
branch of the cookbook so that people will not get confused by many
"before 2.0" and "after 2.0" sections.

I should have done that already, but I am somehow late with these
updates of documentation :-/
(unfortunately I'm faster typing in c++ than in English)
At some point I will eventually update the cookbook, but now I am
mostly focused on code updates for 2.0. Anyway I would highly welcome
any activity by others to bring the cookbook up to date.

The cookbook is now located in the QGIS-Documentation repository:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/tree/master/source/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook
It is in RST format for sphinx, like the rest of the documentation.

Cheers
