-### Ongoing plans
-#### In friendly modules, the names that were used as aliases for `ctypes.c_int` will be used for enumeration types implemented with `enum`
-`comtypes.client.GetModule` generates two `Python` modules in the `comtypes.gen` package with a single call.
-
-A first wrapper module is created with a long name that is derived from the type library guid, version number and lcid. It contains interface classes, coclasses, constants, and structures.  
-A second friendly module is created with a shorter name derived from the type library name itself. It imports items from the wrapper module, and will be the module returned from `GetModule`.
-
-In the current `comtypes` specification, if a COM type kind is defined as an enumeration type, that type name is used as an alias for [`ctypes.c_int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html#ctypes.c_int) in the wrapper module, and that symbol is imported into the friendly module.  
-In future release, in friendly modules, their names will no longer be aliases for `c_int`. Instead, they will be defined as enumerations implemented with [`enum`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/enum.html).
-
-When imported into the friendly module, the wrapper module will be aliased with an abstracted name (`__wrapper_module__`). This allows users to continue using the old definitions by modifying the import sections of their codebase.
-
-Please refer to [the GitHub issue](https://github.com/enthought/comtypes/issues/345) for details.
