The progress bar is almost useless. A bunch of research has been done on progress estimation, and it's actually a hard problem.
That's ok. Generally speaking, progress bar is only a visual effect and it can report wrong informations. A famous progress bar was the one visible during the Mac os X boot process, that was based on the last boot time and not on any estimation. What I mean is that, while percentagegoes on, progress bar is full from start to finish, there are no progresses from 0 to 100% And I haven't spotted such issue on previous versions of Fedora. If I'm not wrong.
Ahh yeah, the disconnect between progress bar and percentage is a new bug. The progress bar is always "done" even while the percentage is at e.g. 5%. And also I'm seeing a change in the behavior I previously described, the percentage progression to 100% does a pretty decent job of ending up at 100% when it's really done.
