I believe that the old codegen is gone altogether. Please add to the ticket to say that it blocks compilation of a particular package (with instructions for how to reproduce). Is this an important package? Someone should just fix the codegen! Any volunteers? Simon left some breadcrumbs and I'm sure would help.
