Why wouldn't you want to skip a file that is telling you to skip it?

It's saying to exclude the file from code coverage, not from static code analysis, right?

It would be fine if they are still scanned, but thay are listed to be not covered by unit tests. I did only mark some methods/Properties to not be exclued from code coverage but sonar still say they need to be covered.
