It feels more natural and readable to compare the enum instances rather
than their value attributes. If I am ordering the values then that seems to
imply that the enumeration itself is ordered. So I guess my question is
better stated: is there a better way to do this that doesn't involve
ordered comparisons at all?

You could create sets (frozensets?) of standard and hostile environments  
as class variables.
