OK, then they are valuable indeed.

However, I still feel that there is a disconnect between the desired effect (provide a diff in a patch for review) and the implementation (tests that can pass or fail). This also puts the burden of maintaining the results on people who needn't care about them - for example, Oliver's patch clearly didn't need someone look over generated code changes.

I'm not sure what the better solution would be though. Perhaps a bot could provide a diff of DerivedSources for any patch that touches code generators, but I'm not volunteering to implement one :-)
