Previously there was a fancy (relatively speaking) mod_python solution I 
wrote that gave really good kickstart status. The problem was it didn't 
work very well
on older RHEL, which we wanted to support. So I took it out, and I'm not 
quite as happy with what we have now.

It's on the list of things to overhaul in the future, but I hadn't got 
many requests for better status tracking recently, so it's been a bit 
down on the priority list
as compared to some new features.

We could possibly just show Last Request and "Started" times, which 
might be enough.
