Well, we have this thing called the field dictionary:

https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-documentation/blob/master/specs/fields/
field-dictionary.csv

If a field exists, we should reuse it and follow the exact formatting for the
value side. In this case, old_enforcing is in the dictionary. So, it should
be used.

When you are gluing 2 words together, I prefer a dash. But, in this case we
alreday have precedent that the field name exists, so we should reuse it.
