Well, I realize this statement is not really helpful / correct. You
can keept the enums defined in the order they are defined in the TZ
database but then the value statements MUST be used and the numbers
over time won't be assigned in a strictly increasing order. This means
that YANG tools can use the definition order (if they are able to
access it) or they might end up using the numeric value order, which
will over time be increasingly meaningless.
