There is one problem at least for this: to apply this method you'd have to 
change _all_ the ebuilds in the tree referring to GPL-2 or later when GPL-3 
is published, while with GPL-2+ we can start gradually now.

Also it would be more useful for users to know what can be licensed in 2+ and 
what requires 2 strictly.
