We are currently carrying two progress bar implementations in bitbake/lib/bb/ui/crumbs: i) the old one, as still used by depexp ii) the new one used in Hob (and possibly goggle) We need to consolidate around one implementation so that we can reduce the maintenance burden of the multiple GUIs
I think this is fine as post-1.2 work. It doesn't affect the Hob at all, just cleans the code base up a bit. We shouldn't be rushing to fix this when there are more important issues for 1.2.
Patch is send to list
