I disagree here, because
A) How much we like enums affects the effective priority of
QTBUG-24799 (it's the main usecase that it blocks)
B) We might find a solution that works around QTBUG-24799 (okay, not
looking very likely)
C) Someone might want to fix this and QTBUG-24799 at the same time.
Since this is currently necessary, it does mean that anyone who wants
to see enums properly supported should help out with the v4vm work
(currently the best way to fix QTBUG-24799).
