Dropping a value is significantly harder because that value could be in use.
I'm certain there's a really good reason adding new values isn't allowed
inside of a transaction. It's probably documented in the code.
To answer your question about "what goes into a release", there's really
no process for that. What goes into a release is what someone was
interested enough in to get community approval for the idea, write the
patch, and shepard the patch through the review process. So if you want
these features added, you need to either: do it yourself, convince
someone else to do it for free, or pay someone to do it for you.
