Well, we do have an approximation for it: we know how many lines the file has, and we do know (although we don't actually track) how many lines we've blamed so far. So it would be fairly easy to give at least a *rough* indication of "percent blamed" - although it doesn't necessarily say anything about how expensive that last 1% is going to be..
