Backward compatibility in that someone might be using the constant in their code.  You could just leave the existing value there with a comment that it is unused and use a leading _ for the new constants.  (Or you could delete it...it's not likely anyone is using it, I just tend to be conservative unless there is motivation to do otherwise.)
