That's the wording we currently have, and I have two problems with that: - it's subjective, which means we get to quarrel over every class-scope enum anew - it completely ignores the point that scoped enums don't implicitly convert to underlying_type, which is a very welcome subtraction from C/C++'s infamous implicit conversion mess So if it's a vote: +1 for all new enums being scoped and +1 for all old enums being made scoped come Qt 7.
