    Reporting is a key feature of Maven I strongly want to keep working (or fix when we introduced problems while improving build consistency during Maven 3.x refactoring)
    
    I like the option idea to fix (or workaround) the described use case, but I understand Jason resistance to adding it since it causes inconsistency. I still don't have strong final opinion if this is the way to go or not, either only as a temporary workaround or as a real permanent feature.
    
    What I know is that, while working on maven-reporting-exec, ie the component that launches report mojos during site generation, in MSHARED-266 for version 1.2, I found that there were more than this resolution issue that makes reporting mojo execution a special case: build forking and aggregate are other special cases that cause issues, IMHO
    And every change I could imagine to avoid build forking worked with most report plugins, but not with cobertura-maven-plugin: "producing artifacts or consuming artifacts" is a key factor, ie most reports are "consuming artifacts" but a few are "producing artifacts".
    
    I imagine this idea about "disabling workspace resolution" will affect cobertura-maven-plugin: since this report is producing artifacts, it will require workspace resolution, isn't it?
    Christian, did you try with a build that uses cobertura-maven-plugin?
