To elaborate - when I made the change, serve was not documented anywhere, and it was in a broken state (it was serving the root www/ instead of the platform one), so I figured it wasn't really a "launched" feature, but rather a work-in-progress.
With the last round of changes, we probably could consider it good enough to start telling people to use it.
