rhel-osp-director:   The minor update takes too long to start. The user experience is bad.

Environment:
openstack-tripleo-heat-templates-5.0.0-0.20161003064637.d636e3a.1.1.el7ost.noarch
openstack-heat-api-cfn-7.0.0-0.20160926200847.dd707bc.el7ost.noarch
heat-cfntools-1.3.0-2.el7ost.noarch

instack-undercloud-5.0.0-0.20160930175750.9d2a655.el7ost.noarch

Steps to reproduce:
Run "openstack overcloud update stack  -i overcloud"

Result:
Itakes a few minutes until I see the following line:

"starting package update on stack overcloud"

And then a few more minutes until I see:
IN_PROGRESS



Expected result:
If the system needs to wait that long before starting - some additional messages should be printed for the user doing the update. Otherwise one might think that the update is stuck.

I don't think this is a blocker for OSP10. Brad, can you write some doc text for this issue though?

Just cloning for doc_text in OSP10.
