Are you talking about ClassLoader::{findResources, getBootstrapResources, getResources, getSystemResources} and NetworkInterface::{getInetAddresses, getNetworkInterfaces, getSubInterfaces}?

I suppose one could, it's easy to do in some cases like in JarFile. Given that Enumeration is a legacy thing time could be better spent on adding Stream returning methods, which already exist on JarFile/ZipFile. Contributions will be warmly received for Stream returning methods on ClassLoader, NetworkInterface etc.!
