I ticket with this in mind. Often I'll write a ticket and either categorize or write it to make clear the the idea/feedback/bug needs some time to ferment and prove its value. A lot of times these never get looked at again or (particularly with minor / difficult bugs) glanced at before being trashed forever. Things just look different with the passing of time.

OTOH some of my practices at a very small team would probably be incredibly harmful in a big team, I wouldn't take his advice without considering how it's applicable.
