You are taking a difficult stance here because we cannot privatise all protected attributes without sacrificing backwards compatibility. I recognize there are various such places like you point out - in fact, EnumeratedAttribute itself has 'value' as a protected attribute. While I agree that having getters bloat the code a bit, it gives us more freedom to make changes in the future, without worrying about backwards compatibility. I am just saying that code that we commit in the future consider the evolution aspect of it.
