I would hope that it is expected to grow, given that CC-BY-SA 3.0 has
annoyingly many juristiction-specific "ports" and CC-BY-SA 4.0 does not.
It would seem reasonable to have a general operating principle that if
we include a common-license, and the author of that license now
recommends using a later version instead, then we should include the
later version too?
