I think the pace was appropriate. For the current state, I don't expect much
more feedback, so it'd be fine to send an update for the enum change rather
quicky.

However, we're anyways in the merge window currently, so I'd recomment to leave
the patch series as is and send a v8 once the merge window closes -- I'll pick
it up then unless there's some further feedback.
