That is one of the points bothering me: It doesn't make sense to do a 
progress indicator here.

IMHO, it is just noice.

However, I agree that other things might have higher priority

like have forgotten to update TODO.

This should go with the avr.c-cleanup brought up again by Ted.

Yes, I have seen this. Definitely, high priority.
