The names inside std.system.Endian were changed from UpperCamelCase to

Yu can't rename enum values without breaking code. Any final switches would be
broken if you left in the old values as would anything using
std.traits.EnumMembers.
I think EnumMembers is used rarely enough to not warrant much worry. If
final switch fails to compile because it doesn't handle all aliases of
the same value, that's a bug in the compiler. So I think keeping old
values alongside new ones is good practice.
A simple renaming is caught and pointed out quite well
by the compiler's spellchecker.
Code breakage is what it is.
