Hello.

Would it be a good idea having some sort of interface for
those who desire to have their system updating (make world and
kernel) made interactive? I am not talking a GUI here, but
something that can make it more convenient:

1. Put the entire process under one roof.
2. Be able to see the completion percentage
3. Be able to halt/resume the process
4. I'm sure there would be many other upsides to this

I hope somebody can turn this into something viable.

Thanks!
