Starting with a strict statement here so we can poke holes at this.
Immediately an enumeration like component.Kind, which has constants like ReceiverKind, would not match this role.

Why is Type as a literal required? An enum const should be prefixed with its type. E.g. configtelemetry.LevelNone when we have type Level int32

An enum const should be prefixed with its type.
Agreed, I'll update that rule.
I think the largest question of the PR is "When should an Enum use Type in its name or be named Type". I've started the PR by claiming "All Enums should include Type in the name".
I don't think that is correct, but I am struggling to put into words the situations when Type is appropriate.

I don't think we should dictate using Type as literal. Sometimes it may be a good fit, sometimes not

@dmitryax Updated to try and put into words what Type represents, which I am currently interpreting as a sense of limited categorization.

To be clear: in the case of configcompression this would mean basically doing the changes in #9417, right? @dmitryax do you agree?
edit: No, for what it would entail see #9447 (comment)
I disagree, because I think having "compression" as suffix in the package name + https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/pull/9447/files#diff-eca12c0a30e25b4b46522ebf89465a03ba72a03f540796c979137931d8f92055R261 should lead us to rename the enum as |

Ah, you are right @bogdandrutu 👍 |
