Vedran Čačić added the comment:

So, in fact, your Flags are simply an overlayed namespace over int (the way to 
give some ints sticky names), and any int is accessible from any Flags, no 
matter whether it has a name or not? I must say that to me it seems radically 
different than (Int)Enum philosophy.

    class MyIntEnum(IntEnum):
        A = 1

    >>> MyIntEnum(0)
    ValueError: 0 is not a valid MyIntEnum

So, flags are not enums, nor they share the same principles (identity, 
exclusiveness). Why are they in the enum module at all?
