It's this.

An awful lot of scripters never make use of timers, or even explore
events beyond the touch_start in the default script.

Discussions like this would be good for server-beta@ [1] - quite a few
scripters have signed up there who aren't on opensource-dev at . I'm also
encouraging some of the core developers who aren't tied to open source
to join.
