Disclaimer: my cck checkout is a week old or so.

I changed the machine name of a content type and the checkbox for 'referenceable types' in nodereference.module did not properly preserve my choice in other node types. i hope that makes sense.

Moshe,
I think for this particular issue, you're just going to have to remember to update your nodereference fields.... I don't think you should tread into changing the machine readable names of fields lightly. It is something I would prefer that we didn't expose in the UI. There is really no functionality gained by exposing this value, except assisting theme developers. I think if a theme developer is into php enough to write custom node templates they can handle some slightly misrepresentative variable names. Also how are your theme's going to know about the changes when you do this?

I personally believe we should remove editing the machine readable names from core. It presents a need for a relatively useless event for modules to respond to a *machine* readable name change.
