I disagree about the "Low Importance" of this.
For many ThinkPad users like myself our first impression of Karmic is a pop-up stating your kernel has encountered a "serious error" and that the system may be unstable and may need to be shutdown. This is due an otherwise harmless warning from the ibm-acpi driver, which triggers this scary message on a daily message for us.
To me it seems very important that warnings should be handled differently. Warnings may be just that-- a warning. It is in appropriate to treat them the as "serious error" that "may require a restart".
Here's a related bug about the issue:

You can see that there were were about 20 duplicate bug reports filed about this even before Karmic was officially released.
