Are there definitely plans to fix std.socket? I don't recall that one being 
definitely planned for a redesign. If it is, then I completely agree with you, 
but I don't really know much about std.socket (I've never used it). If it 
needs a redesign, then it should get one (and hopefully sooner rather than 
later), but I'm not aware of any plans to redesign it, and if such a redesign 
is going to happen, _someone_ needs to do it, so we probably need to see if we 
can find someone able and willing to do so. But if std.socket doesn't actually 
need to be redesigned and isn't going to be redesigned, then it doesn't 
necessarily make sense to skip renaming its enum values.

So, I agree as long as we're actually going to be redesigning std.socket, but 
I'm not aware of any plans to redesign std.socket. We should probably have a 
page somewhere which keeps track of planned major redesigns like that. 
Sometimes, it's easy to forget what exactly is going on with it.
