Effectivity and Windchill functions

Greetings Windchillers

We are considering using effectivity in our Change Management. The effectivity date will be read by middleware and sent to our SAP system.  We have occasions to hold on to ECNs here for a while, so we set the effectivity date out 10 years when we start the ECN. 

Our Change Process is to do Engineering work, set files to Release, continue work in SAP, and finally when all is done Resolve the ECN.  

I'm wondering what affect, if any, this could have on a WTPart in Windchill itself.  It would be set to Release (lifecycle) but have an effectivity date some time in the future.   Any pitfalls? 
I'm thinking Windchill would ignore it.

TIA,
James
