If I have 12 setTimeout waiting to happen and the user gives focus to a 
different "component" I'll need to clear all the setTimeout. I was 
looking for a single point to control all of them without multiple 
setTimeout.

At some later stage the client might ask for "unlimited" timings and I'd 
rather not have lots of setTimeout running at the same time.
