The problems start when two different clients try to, for instance,
manipulate the timers. Imagine the following:

- client 1 does LSTT and gets a list of 10 timers, numbered 1...10
- client 2 does the same and gets the same list
- client 1 deletes timer 5
- client 2 deletes timer 8 - OOPS! what used to be timer 8 would now be
  timer 7! So client 2 actually deletes the old timer 9!

That would certainly be better.
