+Now, many git-annex commands support -Jn, the output is not a jumbled mess
+thanks to the concurrent-output library.
+
+At this point all I see that needs doing is:
+
+* Maybe support -Jn in more commands. Just needs changing a few lines of
+ code and testing each.
+
+* It would be nice to be able to run cleanup actions in the "background",
+ after a command has otherwise succeeded, even when -Jn is not used.
+ In particular, when getting files, their checksum is verified after
+ download. That would nicely parellize with the next file being
+ downloaded.
+
+ This could be implemented also using concurrent-output, but it would then
+ have to drive the display even when -J is not used. I'm not yet sure
+ enough about it to use it by default.
