Is this becoming a requirement now? I personally would rather leave that to personal preference...

Hey, I just review patches. I don't get to set requirements. There's a reason why enums are preferred though. They define a proper name for the constant. It's far to easy to mess up with #defines. They also document the code intent much better as you can group related constants together.
