CKAN client UI/processing poll

[politas]

Hello CKAN users! I've had a bit of an idea in regard to the CKAN client, but I really don't know whether or not it's a good idea. Can you help by answering this poll?

I'm more worried about inconsistencies between my display, the actual install, and the state of the JSON in the background.   Count me in as one of the cup of tea people.  And I say that running over 200 mods on one of my experimental career games, so the wait is clear, but worth it to me.  Can you quantify the risk involved in the progressive and the mixed?

I have no difficulty with the wait time for foreground processing, and, TBH, don't really notice it at all (maybe 5-10 secs).  I read one KSP forums post while I wait.  I'm running 113 mods on KSP 1.3.1.

Not really. At this stage, I'm not even sure how much we _can_ throw this processing into the background, It's all pretty pie-in-the-sky at this stage. What I'm thinking is that with the progressive version, when you select a mod for installation, there may be a period of time when a mod that conflicts with what you just selected or one of its dependencies remains available for selection.
