How would being able to add a new value to an enumeration help, without distributing new business logic code that uses the new enumeration value?
You might say "the business logic is loaded at runtime, so I don't have to compile a new app -- I just send a new business logic assembly specific for this client." If that's the case, put the enumeration definition either in a separate assembly and send out the enumeration definition assembly at the same time (or put the enumeration in the business logic assembly).
