Anything goes, of course. But I fear we would break the minibuffer
(which is a special buffer, with special handling). And there is still
the echo area problem.
The modeline is designed to provide indications to the user. I believe,
it is the natural place for showing unfinished network activities.
If it cannot be a spinning char due to the permanent refresh, than it
might be some coloured text, as running processes show already.
Best regards, Michael.
