It appears that the behavior has changed from completely ignoring filesystem API for generate if routes are provided to concatenating the user-supplied and generated routes? (in lib/builder/generator.js)
How can I only generate some routes?
(also, that should include generating no HTML by explicitly passing an empty array)
