> Why?
> # A lot of static analysis tools understand the javax.annotation.Generated annotation and treat those classes differently.
> # Setting the date field with the date & comments field with the version of the thrift compiler might prove to be valuable for tracing the origins of the generated file.
> The overheads should be minimal as the retention policy of the annotation is purely at a source level
