while working on removing the tree widget from our directory prompter, I suddenly started getting a bunch of errors involving dojo.DeferredList being undefined.  It seems that we have lots of source files using DeferredList without declaring their dependency on it.  My theory is that removing use of tree from directory prompter removed DeferredList.

The short term fix is to declare dojo/DeferredList in modules where we use it.  But Simon suggests we quit using it all together in favor of Deferred.all

Indeed it was dijit.Tree that was pulling it in for free.

There are only 4 references left (in git, string externalizer, sites) and these will be fixed when the pages are de-dojoed.  The pattern is clearly documented here:
