Hi Yasir, Have you read through: http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_error_handling.html ?
Ignore_errors is taking yes or no, because simply put there isn't any other answer possible to "Do you want me to ignore the errors?" yes/no. You are answering with "Mooo" and the system doesnt speak cowish, yet I'm interested in knowing why do you want to let ignore_errors take a variable?
