Otherwise, there's no real advantage to putting it in core rather than FIG. The reason to put it in core is so it can be used in core. So let's use it in core, even if not the full scope of eventual usage.
I believe the RFC is sufficiently clear in how the enum can be useful for the PHP stdlib, listing some examples as future scope. And even if there would not (yet) be anything in the stdlib that could make use of it, I believe that asking users to install third party libraries with vendor-namespaces for a *data type* that is so broadly useful that it will likely be (transitively) required by every major framework is providing a good developer experience.
