I actually started with a boolean flag option, but then thought about the
other bits being added and before we know it we'd have quite a few flags which
equate to lots of config options to be added in broker.xml
Where as having an enum from a user perspective means you simply define
which timed buffer type you want, and is a little more plain English with what
you're selecting.
Maybe I can see if I can make the enum for config so we don't explode the
config paeans but re work the reintroduction of the old behaviour like you
propose.
