We could, but what about removing one? Also if we have hundreds (or
thousands) the risk that one is accidentally duplicated is significant.
My rationale for this is that managing topics the way we do know simply
doesn't scale so if we can avoid manual work we should.

I tried as that could have worked! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be
possible ATM. mach bailed out with a weird error when I tried to put an
IDL file among the generated ones. I didn't really dig into it but I
suspect that since we already generate code from IDL files they're not
expected to be generated in turn.
