The ``--result-log`` option produces a stream of test reports which can be
-analysed at runtime. It uses a custom format which requires users to implement their own

-The current plan is to provide an alternative in the pytest 5.0 series and remove the ``--result-log``
-option in pytest 6.0 after the new implementation proves satisfactory to all users and is deemed
-stable.
+The :ref:`--report-log <report_log>` option provides a more standard and extensible alternative, producing
+one JSON object per-line, and should cover the same use cases. Please try it out and provide feedback.
-The actual alternative is still being discussed in issue `#4488 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/4488>`__.
