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 :-)
