Sorry if it's a silly suggestion: Could the current tool insert some helpful reminders *everywhere* in the generated file (so it's can't be missed)? E.g., every 2nd line would read: "// PSA: This file is auto-generated by ./mach wpt-manifest-update, please don't edit!" ;-) _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
