It's a reasonable question, there are arguments both for and against.

I guess what really prompted my suggestion is that we already have a
"giant switch" and one of the existing cases is postfix_txdelta, which
is a progress like callback for commit. It's not clear why the
checkout feedback should be different and have it's own callback.
