Agree. Everything in the target folder should be considered temporal and wiped on a clean build.

For other generated code (from the source tree for example) we have taken the approach that a clean command should remove them *all* to ensure consistency in the final artifact. If some code lived through a clean cycle, we argued that it could potentially cause unwanted side-effects.
