Well, considering what we have now, the proposal is solid enough for
me. As far as supporting VACUUM or REINDEX operations, my feeling is
that offering a way to report current block being worked on and being
able to see that move is enough a progress indication.

We know for sure we won't be able to provide a reliable progress bar,
and I don't think adopting the famous windows time units (the longest
remaining second known) would do any good for the project.
