  See also bug #629257 (one lower) for previous (lukewarm) discussions
  on the implications of showing "(estimating...)" via the user
  interface. This two bugs might want re-splitting/sorting again based
  on those that relate to the chrono estimate not being known, and those
  that relate to the pointless display of that unknown data for long
  periods of time to the user.
