implications of changing the key_name of an element_type

If I change the key_name of an element_type (via soap), will that
automatically change the name, file_name, etc. of any element
templates that are for that element_type? I ask because some elements
that were created here (not by me ;) were not named very well, and I
would like to change their names and key_names to make them more
intuitive. Thanks.

P.S. There is no real code yet in those templates, and these
element_types have not been used anywhere else, so I don't have to
worry that changing their names will affect other templates that
refer to them.

No. You'll have to check them out and deploy them again.

Sure.

Shouldn't be much of a problem, then. Maybe you can try it once, then
when you get the steps nailed down, add instructions to the wiki?

Best,
