It isn't that easy. If you have a new warning on upgrade you probably want to work on it "next week", but that means you need to ignore it for a bit. Or you might still want to support a really old version without the new API and so you can't fix it now.

So you create a bug report or an issue or a story or whatever you happen to call it, and you make sure it gets tracked, and you schedule it with the rest of your work. That's not the same thing as "ignoring" it.

And you always have something more important/interesting to do and so never get around to it.
... which means that when the axe falls, the results are 100 percent your fault.
