+# When you move, remove or rename generated files, you probably also update
+# .gitignore and cleaning rules in the Makefile. This is the right thing
+# to do. However, people usually do 'git pull', 'git bisect', etc. without
+# running 'make clean'. Then, the stale generated files are left over, often
+# causing build issues.
+#
+# Also, 'git status' shows such stale build artifacts as untracked files.
+# What is worse, some people send a wrong patch to get them back to .gitignore
+# without checking the commit history.
+#
+# So, when you (re)move generated files, please move the cleaning rules from
+# the Makefile to this script. This is run before Kbuild starts building
+# anything, so people will not be annoyed by such garbage files.
+#
+# This script is not intended to grow endlessly. Rather, it is a temporary scrap
+# yard. Stale files stay in this file for a while (for some release cycles?),
+# then will be really dead and removed from the code base entirely.
