Currently, enum member removal is only prevented for stable enums. However, like attribute names themselves, we should prevent enum members from disappearing. They can be deprecated, but not removed.
The practical reason for keeping deprecated experimental attributes is to be able to generate one semconv artifact that can work with N instrumentation libraries potentially following different versions of semconv.
If we drop an attribute and instrumentation gets unexpected version of semconv artifact resolved in runtime there will be a runtime exception.
Enum members would have the same problem, but maybe with a smaller probability.
So I do think we should keep them regardless of stability level.
