The proposal suggests default non-frozen enums. If I remember well, that's because it's easier to switch from non-frozen to frozen than the opposite.

I buy this ABI-based argument very well, since 1. I'm not an ABI expert, and 2. as a library author I will scratch my head for each of my public enums anyway.

Now I still think that the choice is really uneasy. I've given some GRDB examples. And I'd also like to know how ABI experts would have introduced and evolved SKPaymentTransactionState in a hypothetic Swift 5+ world.
