I'm not convinced this would be useful. Such a disclaimer would just 
serve as excuse should the developer not fully understand / own the 
generated code, which is the situation we should avoid. I'm also not 
interested to read in commit messages which IDE, text editor, operating 
system was involved in creating the patch. ;)
