Needing to use a PyPI alternative to a stdlib module for increased cross-version consistency is a pretty common experience these days, so I think that's OK - end users can choose for themselves between the stability of the stdlib version and the reduced update latency of the PyPI version.
Are you saying I shouldn't bother updating the 3.6 Enum to ignore _order_?
I don't have an opinion on the change itself (although keeping PyPI and 3.6-to-be aligned seems reasonable), just that it's OK to suggest folks use a backport module even on earlier 3.x versions if they want the behaviour of the latest (or even the next upcoming) stdlib release, rather than the baseline behaviour of their current runtime.
