------------------------------------------------------------
is it about documenting = having people understand that model inheritance is
key [https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.9.2/maven-model-builder/]
or about adding new additional mechanisms to get more control (because it's not
so easy to change the order got from inheritance if it does not match your
expectations)
thinking about it now, documenting could start by simply adding a note to the
page that makes explicit the impact of model inheritance on plugins order

> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation: General
> Reporter: Christian Schulte
> Priority: Critical
>
> Users continuously report issues regarding the order of plugin executions:
> repeating that *"this order is not expected to be guaranteed inside a phase"*
> is not convincing for them. (notice that perhaps telling that it *cannot* be
> guaranteed nor really controlled may be more convincing...)
> The algorithm used to calculate the order of executions performed by Maven
> needs to be documented:
> - declaration order in the POM
> - inheritance merging from parent POM,
> - merging of profiles and other plugin containers,
> - the order of executions of multiple executions in the same lifecycle phase,
> - the sorting by plugin that happens when multiple goals are defined for the
> same plugin,
> etc.
> based on Model Building
