It might be a good idea as part of a larger change (to the names of
all nested classes).  It's probably not a great idea if the change
only involves enums nested with classes, though others might disagree
with me on that.

What certainly isn't a good idea is that it's changed and nobody has
bothered to discuss this with us.  Maybe a good course of action would
be to post to gcc@ asking about it.

Right.
