Product Decisions This Supports

Confirms native PHP 8.1+ enum support eliminates need for third-party dependencies, reducing technical debt
Prioritizes codebase simplicity and long-term maintainability by leveraging built-in language features
Informs roadmap to phase out legacy enum implementations in favor of native PHP enums
Validates "build vs buy" decision: native solution is superior for new projects (zero maintenance overhead)
Eliminates risk of adopting unmaintained packages with potential security vulnerabilities

When to Consider This Package

Never for new projects (PHP 8.1+ native enums are standard and fully supported)
Only in legacy systems running PHP <7.4 where upgrading is impossible (but even then, alternatives like myclabs/php-enum are better maintained)
Avoid if project requires active security updates, modern framework compatibility (Laravel 9+), or community support
Consider migrating away from this package
