> I think "standardized bitmask type" is not very clear because it's hard to know what is and isn't a standardized bitmask type (it's not a term of art I'm used to hearing, anyway). I agree that shifting by them makes no sense, but I also have a hard time imagining anyone is using these as shift values in the first place, so perhaps the diagnostic can be removed entirely unless we can find some code in the wild that does something like this?
I totally agree that its bad.

Removing this exception is ok with me.
