I don't agree. It's quite meaningful to me to see whether a render will be
finished the same day or two days later. That's something you can calculate for
yourself, which is what I'm doing now, but POV has the data already at hand.
This would be even more meaningful with animations.
You could use a straightforward calculation (based on PPS) or a more advanced
one (based on a series of PPS-data).

So long,
