And if your developer time is better spent on producing more features than cleaning up your previously made code, you'll end up with 10.5k warnings. I'm sure that someone will freak out and cry, but as long as you can keep extending it and working with it, why fix it?
Of course, technical debt builds up, and eventually you're badly locked in until you refactor, so it's a balancing act.
