It was meant to be a tongue-in-cheek comment. I personally hate those "Installing n of N packages / Installation of package n p% done" progress meters when we know the weight of each of these N packages varies. I also agree with your "how would you know which one is throughput and which one is counts" comment, which would mean the particular abstraction you mentioned is too premature even though it looks nice on the surface. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
