Fixing a warning may make the project require the newer cmake version. E.g. if MyProject requires cmake 2.8.10, and there is a new policy in 3.0.0, which generates a warning, a developer using cmake 3.0.0 may see the warning and fix it, but by that he may have broken the build for the required 2.8.10 and actually now 3.0.0 is required.
