As possible follow-ups, I think it would be nice to drop the generated files from the source tree and instead trigger the re-generation on- demand. Additionally the yaml files could include an SPDX-License- Identifier in an initial comments, I think. Thanks, Paolo p.s. I guess we have new todo item for the mptcp protocol ;)
