I have run into a situations when an enum member becomes obsolete.
However, I'd like to avoid removing the member from the enum to give time for
users to catch up to a libraries core types.
This would be good.
I've seen Java has a @Deprecated annotation for their Enums.
Python enum's can also set an _ignore_ attribute which will avoid instantiating
a member in the list.
The purpose behind _ignore_ is to be able to use temporary variables
without those variables becoming members.
I've implemented a similar approach to solve deprecating enum members.

Interesting. I prefer the approach in my Stackoverflow answer:

Yours is quite similar, but mine is more general-purpose and so easily
allows for a useful message as well.
