Each LP rollout at the moment is something of a lottery in terms of timing. Since figuring out whether any of the upgrade.py/fti.py/security.py steps are being blocked in some way is non-trivial, it's hard for us to know when things are going wrong. If we've estimated that the upgrade should take 30 mins, we only really start to worry if things have gone wrong in some way after about 35 minutes. If we're still only 20% of the way through at that stage, our outage estimations are going to be completely wrong.

Ideally we'd have:

- Some kind of percentage progress bar
- Some easily visible and unmistakeable indication if the process is blocked in any way, and what to do about it
