This is a more general problem. There's no space for global indicator in
Emacs, e.g. display-time, erc-track etc "abuses" mode-line because they
have no other choice. Using the echo area which is transient does not
seems like the right thing to do.
Unless somone add a non transient part to it. That would be awesome.

Why not rather a full part of the echo area for all the global
indicators that should be there rather than in the mode-line?
