Adding values to enums means hitting "default" in any switch

for those enums, and that either leads to (a) incorrect behavior
(e.g., default == everything else == published), (b) an error (i.e.,
default == unknown == WTF? Error!), or (c) incorrect behavior that
looks correct (e.g., default == everything else == unpublished;
correct
in the case of "pending").
I can guarantee that this will be a problem for In Series, at least.
It's good to keep these things in mind as you code plugins. Consider
using multiple OR'd conditions instead of a negated condition that
may in the future include unwanted results.
