Has the asp.net mvc team implemented a default model binding for enums? One that is out of the box and there is no need of creating a custom model binder for enums.
UPDATE:
Let's say I have an action that will be receiving a view model and a JSON object will be posted to the action.
jsObj{id:2, name:'mike', personType: 1}
and the view model:
class ViewModel
{
    public int id {get;set;}
    public string name {get;set;}
    public PersonType personType{get;set;}
}
public enum PersonType : int
{
   Good = 1,
   Bad = 2,
   Evil = 3
}
Will the person type be bound?
It was there even with earlier versions. This html and Gender = Male form value is correctly binding to Gender enum property.
<select id="Gender" name="Gender">
     <option value="Male">Male</option>
     <option value="Female">Femal</option>
</select>
For the server side I find it easiest to use select lists in my view model
public class User
{
    public UserType UserType { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> UserTypesSelectList { get; set; }
    public User()
    {
        UserTypesSelectList = Enum.GetNames(typeof(UserType)).Select(name => new SelectListItem()
        {
            Text = name,
            Value = MakeEnumMoreUserFriendly(name)
        });
    }
}
public enum UserType
{
    First,
    Second
}
And in view
@Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.UserType, Model.UserTypesSelectList)
