These "Empowered""Exalted" feats all have this nice little blurb on it (BoED, p. 47-48):

If you break your vow, you immediately and irrevocably lose the benefit of this feat. You may not take another feat to replace it.

Mechanically, if I were to swap out my empoweredexalted vows using the bonus featBonus Feat ability from the Chameleon prestige class, I lost the vow without breaking the criteria of the oath. OrOr have I broken the vow by removing the feat voluntarily.?

Is there an appropriate or articulate RAW interpretation of this ability interaction?
