The progress report is a snapshot of what a running task is currently doing and metrics on how much progress
has been made.  In part so users can know progress is begin made and estimate the task's completion.  The
"result" report /could/ provide an indicator of success and a summary/detail of work completed.  These two
things seem completely different.  I'm not advocating for a "result", just pointing out the differences.
