Bob,

There was discussion on whether or not the enum should be used instead 
of the raw integter tyep.  Using an enum has
clear advantage as you pointed but would be inconsistent with existing 
parameters (the strategy for example) . We settled
with the raw integer to prefer the local consistency.

What exactly is this incompatibility you refer here?
