No, assuming that we make sure gnulib-tool understand that not all GPLv3
code in gnulib can be affected by --gplv2.
Idea: Have the current 'GPL' and 'LGPL' refer to 'GPL 2.0' and 'LGPL
2.1'. For new modules that is only available under GPL 3.0 or LGPL 3.0,
add as license 'GPL-3' or 'LGPL-3'. gnulib-tool should refuse to apply
gplv2-license changing on such modules, and refuse to copy such a module
when --gplv2 is used.
What do you think?

FWIW, GnuTLS won't switch from (L)GPLv2 right now.
