In prior releases, the upgrade procedure was:
upgrade A
remove old A
upgrade B
remove old C
...
upgrade Z
***
remove old Z
With the switch to yum, it's now:
upgrade A
upgrade B
upgrade C
...
upgrade Z
***
remove old A
remove old B
remove old C
...
remove old Z
The time algorithm and the progress bar were adopted for the first method -
when you get to 'where all the packages are installed', you're at the point
makred by '***' above.
This obviously doesn't fit the new model very well.
