Is it ok to rename existing bitmask value?

[zocoi]

Warning: Modifying possible values
IMPORTANT: Once you have data using a bitmask, don't change the order of the values, remove any values, or insert any new values in the :as array anywhere except at the end. You won't like the results.

The README warns not to change the order of :as array once we have data, but is it ok to rename one value without changing the order?

Example:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  bitmask :roles, :as => [:writer, :publisher, :editor, :proofreader]
end

to

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  bitmask :roles, :as => [:writer, :publisher, :story_editor, :proofreader, :event_editor]
end

Just to follow up to this question, we did rename the bitmask role and it works pretty well without breaking
