If this is true.....can this be addressed in a later firmware release to give teams more feedback that something "good" is happening DURING the firmware upgrade?

The screen displays shown in 5.1.1 are what you see.
"DO NOT SHUT OFF!"
is the biggest clue.
If your flash drive has a status light, it'll blink as the download takes place.

After it reboots itself you see the standard screen

That "*** OTB ***" at the bottom is now gone.
