There is a several-month-old request to add aenum's [1] AutoNumberEnum to the stdlib [2]. The requester and two of the three developers of Enum are in favor (the third hasn't chimed in yet).

Enum.
Personally I would be quite happy to never have to specify a value for enums ever again, but only if they subclass Enum (since IntEnum is for compatibility with C stuff where a specific value is needed I don't think users need to mess that up by having the automatic numbering not work how they would expect).
If a user really wants that they can, of course, specify both AutoNuberEnum and IntEnum in the class header.
