The cases where upstream exploited GPLv2 / GPLv3 incompatibilities on
purpose are very rare, luckily.
The incompatibility is often avoided by licensing under "GPLv2 or GPLv3 at
your choice", which is perfect for the needs of a distributor.
There are a lot of project that use "GPLv2 onnly" and there are a lot of
projects that use GNU libreadline. This is where I expect the highest
probability for a problem.
