What is the significance of the "Production Name" attribute of an Ensemble Rule?

On the "General" tab of the Rule Editor there's a field called "Production Name".  The doc says (my emphasis):

The name of the production in which you expect to use this routing rule.

Does anyone know where this value is used?

Is it safe to set this field blank?

I know it's at least used to filter the list of target components when you create a "send" action. I'm not sure where else it applies.

Thanks Mark. I'm going to accept Dave's answer, but I appreciate your prompt response too.

Thanks Dave. For the benefit of DC readers, here's what the "big red warning" looks like:

John

the only place i can think of it being used in the pull down menu for selecting a target in a send. It only offers you configuration items that exist in the production you choose. If you haven't specified a production it lists everything it can find and gives you a big red warning.

There is nothing to stop you typing in a target that isn't on the list
