none
Desired functionality.
That it leaves the files that are not generated by the CLI alone.
Reason, My project might need for example a webworker, and some other code that's living outside the CLI (like in a ngUpgraded project, not everything is under the CLI's control yet)
Now I need to make sure the build tools run in the right order, otherwise, the CLI will kill my other files.
Additional remark
I think this should be under control of a setting. The current behaviour is fine in a project that's only using the CLI. So the default behaviour should not get changed. I think an option in the .angular-cli.json for this is a good option. An extra cmd-line flag is also fine, however, there are already a lot of those!
