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?

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

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