Effect of changing SKU on existing unpaid orders

[mfreeze]

In 7.0.5 would changing the SKU of an existing product affect the ability to process existing unpaid/unshipped orders?

The sku is stored in the order items table at order placement time, so those items would have the old sku.

Order is like a snap-shot in time. It will retain the old info. Updating SKUs for products will only affect the new orders.
