I'm all for it. I want to know what's being done, even if it's just a static bit of text. It's the "nothing" - and nothing moving - that sometimes scares me.

I've never waited on anything on this front more than 25-30 minutes. I guess I've been lucky.

I've had friends/relatives call or text me during installations "nothing's happening and I'm not sure what to do...".

"Just give it time, wait it out...there sometimes seems to be a part where it hangs up and just sits, but it'll move again. DO NOT shut down or restart!"

But Apple could do things on their end to make it to where those people never had to call me in a worried, semi-frantic tone (or that they'd know for sure not to shut down/restart). Nobody wants a $1,400 paperweight, but I bet it's happened plenty.
