I read this in RFC 7950:

   o  An "enumeration" type may have new enums added, provided the old
      enums's values do not change.  Note that inserting a new enum
      before an existing enum or reordering existing enums will result
      in new values for the existing enums, unless they have explicit
      values assigned to them.

What do you want this to change to?
