Axioms that have been seriously proposed as additions to the ZFC system
seem to fall into 2 classes:
1) Provably relatively consistent with ZFC, having no new arithmetical
consequences
2) Implying Con(ZF)
Has an axiom augmenting ZFC ever been seriously proposed which falls
into one of these other classes?
3) Not known whether it implies Con(ZF)
4) Provably relatively consistent with ZFC, but having other new
arithmetical consequences
5) Provably relatively consistent with ZFC, but not known whether it
has any new arithmetical consequences
Note that I am only talking about enhancements to ZFC. not alternative
systems of set theory like NF in which some axioms of ZFC are
technically false.
