Because there is currently no easy way to update such a bar and no way at all
to have those updates in real time. We also need to figure out where the goal
line should be set (hint to board: we need an approved budget). 

But that would be an awesome thing to have, yes. 

We might want to consider putting a bounty on creating a bot that could do
that. The person creating it would have to be *very* trusted and their bot code
vetted for security purposes (since it would be using account names and
passwords to gather data). But I think it could be done.
