I guess that's fine for backports and classifying commits, as the original change is applied to the old version? Even in the worst case, you could declare those older versions dead and continue on without the shiny new tools.

Code completely generated by the LLM I would also be cautious about though. Once that code is in the kernel, any follow up changes (or even developers?) may be tainted depending on what courts decide.
