New description:
!LoopingCall and !TimedService are OK, but it's hard to make sure they
stop looping before stopService is complete. This pattern repeats all
over Buildbot, with some confusing, difficult-to-test code as the result.
We should have some generic support for this, well-tested, and used
throughout.

Comment (by dustin):
See #2480 which suggests adding some randomization to spread out events
that would otherwise fire at exactly the same time.
