Already thought about that: exchanging the handler function or the
libbrary might only be useful in a developing environment, i don't see
other use cases here. The same is true for the validator (but a missing
validator could be added afterwards) and in my opinion i would prefer
not to change the trust flag - some functions may depend on this.

The name cannot be changed at all so only the owner and maybe the
validator is left ...

Did i miss something?


Kind regards
