Comment (by catalyst):

 Replying to [comment:8 mcs]:
 > catalyst, can you clarify what is meant by "decouple?" Would control
 port clients potentially receive different `PROGRESS` numbers each time
 bootstrapping occurs? For example, would it ever be the case that
 `BOOTSTRAP PROGRESS=80` would mean something different across different
 runs of tor? Or is this ticket concerned with an internal renumbering
 and/or rearchitecture, after which the `PROGRESS` numbers would be
 continue to be stable and predictable?
 Some discussion about the renumbering approach is in #28281.  We might not
 try to do the decoupling in the 0.4.0 timeframe.

 Could you please describe what risks you see from having the numbering
 possibly change from one run to another?
