I'm not sure what the text in quotes means, but the way the label is
written it lacks a classifier for thing it is labeling, e.g. "fig:" for
figures or "sec:" for sections.  So if you want to reference a figure,
RefTeX will not be able to limit the offered list of labels to those
belonging to figures.  This means you got rid of a useful feature.

The same goes for the fancyref LaTeX package which also makes use of
prefixes to distinguish label types.
