you can only register 'trivial' node type changes, i.e. changes that
do not affect existing content.
a trivial change would e.g. be adding a non-mandatory property.
a non-trivial (and thus non-supported change) would e.g. be adding a
mandatory property
or adding a value constraint to an existing property definition.
what exactly are you trying to change?

reregisterNodeType() allows to modify the definition of
an existing, already registered node type. only trivial
changes are currently supported.
