What about read-only source directories shared amongst multiple builds?

I don't think it's worth the policy change. It's just easier for everyone
to remember to checkin the regenerated files.

What benefit is there to not checking in the generated file? You'd have
to go check a long list of such files to remember your's is on the OK
list and not check it in?

Cheers,
