Description

the new reporting format is not ready for real-world use because of MSITE-484: until this is fixed, this is more an unwanted implementation detail visible from users than anything else.

But we document it at the start of the maven-3 page, then eveybody assumes that this is the preferred format: this is really misleading.

IMHO this documentation should be moved at the end of the page, just with a note that in the future, when/if MSITE-484 is fixed in a way as flexible as classical report, it should override it. But that's not for today...
