I suppose it depends on what they really want:

(a) A "feel" for when it's done, roughly.

(b) An assurance at some point that it's done.

(c) An assurance that given images are available.

For (a), yes, the script is slightly nicer than tail'ing the log.  For
(b) or (c), just waiting for the script to complete introduces race
conditions.  But AFAICS, yes, the API _can_ provide such assurances.
