If api.info supported locking as does the rest of the API then the issue we currently have with descriptions and licenses being fetched when a user goes and does some other API action, would not arise. There might be a slight delay in the progress starting but the GUI would still be responsive. The API tasks are all being kicked off in background threads and calling back to the GUI to update progress and so on.
It seems reasonable to have api.info() do locking since it supports queries of multiple packages at a time.
However, what happens to the GUI threads that sit there waiting for an api call that may not return for 15-20 minutes while the install/ update is going?
