Sounds like a good idea to me.  

I've already locally tweaked Kevin's patch to use (0,2) instead of
(0,1) without introducing the simpler wrapper.  It should be trivial
to do a wrapper to catch and migrate all the (0,2) users to a
start_delayed_progress() that takes neither percentage or time with
mechanical replacement.
