Bad idea about change machine name... (there are tables created in DB, there are data in field tables etc).

Great idea about change human readable name. Anybody know a real reason to have it disabled? I think that it should be only about #disabled property of form item.

As far as I understand, the db tablename does not have to match the machine name (it is prefixed with eck_ anyway), so changing it should be possible? I have an eck entity called "payment". Now I am going to install the payment module, but don't want to get conflicts... so I need to change the eck entity to old_payments so I can transition them over once everything is setup. I suppose I will go and change the values directly in the db...

I've changed (only) the human readable name of an ECK with pre-existing data, editing the database table "eck_bundle", column "label".
So far, so good. I guess it shouldn't be harmful to allow to change the label through the UI.
