I agree.

It's not clear what the script does, how it is used, if it is intended
to replace tablegen magic just because it's faster/easier or because it
has features tablegen don't, or because it's faster to develop in python
than tablegen, how long will this script be in use and what are the
steps to replace it one day, if any.

Not to mention that it creates a precedence for further hacks, which
might not be temporary themselves... ;)
