Because, in the example given earier, both clients delete a specific
attribute/value (i.e., uidNumber: 500).  If process A deletes 500 and
replaces it with 501, process B's deletion of uidNumber:500 will fail,
since the attribute/value specified doesn't exist.

That's the cue to B that it needs to re-get the uidNumber and try again.
