I believe XFORM_TYPE, ASYM_OP, and PADDING_TYPE are not going to
Change in near future. Hence LIST_END should not be removed from these
Enums. Adding a LIST END has its own benefits and we should not remove
that until we have a solid reason for it. Moreover, these are experimental.
We should revisit these when we think ASYM is stable.

IMO, we should only remove list ends in algo types.

Regards,
Akhil
