Not sure I agree there.

disabling the feature isn't really the same thing as just disabling the eye-candy progress count-down.

I suspect you are not the only one who pipes port output to file like this. I don't anymore, but used to when I ran an update via cron.

If there is really no way to disable the count down, for this sort of use case, then probably a trac feature request is in order ;)
