I saw the presentation of the Bricklink team at fan media days on YouTube the other day and he was saying that they indeed planned to have no progress bars on the website anymore.
I was a little surprised when I saw then there at the start. he did say that Bricklink will share numbers at the end of the crowdfunding campaign on how each set has preformed.
The only thing I would at least like to see is if a set is funded or not.
