Apart from the termination clause, the GPLv2 is far more concise,

compatibility with GPL v2, which GPL v3 isn't.
So your doomsday scenario is that if you license something
GPLv2+, someone might fork and modify it to be GPLv3+,
I was under the impression that forks couldn't change licenses. Is the
scenario which Clint describes (legally) possible?
