If enum were provisional it would be okay, but since it isn't, I think this change can't go into 3.5.2. Think if this: could any code that works in 3.5.1 be broken by the change?
No, but with the change code that works in 3.5.2 could break in 3.5.1 or 3.5.0.
It's a 2/3 compatibility issue with enum34 and aenum which support _order_, and Python3.4+ which does not. The work-around is to use __order__ instead (or use enum34 or aenum instead ;) .
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.
Cheers, Nick.
