So what's the use case here? I'm certainly not opposed to this, but can you elaborate more on your situation?
Are they causing an error in your app?
I have engine-based Rails app, where all functionality is inside engines. Main Rails app is empty container, which doesn't have app -directory nor any additional gems that are not required, including asset pipeline and jquery-rails. I was mounting this engine to main app and got errors as this one had javascript manifest including jquery. Removing application.js completely removed error.
Removed lots of empty, automatically generated assets that are likely never be in use with this project (as all is outputted is plain text). Removing these allows easily embedding this gem to engine based rails application, where main application is missing all application code as well asset pipeline.
