I'm concerned about the frequent use of "or any later version" in many free 
software projects. Some free software enthusiasts are still not very happy 
with the contents of GPLv3, so why should someone place his code under a 
license he does not know yet?

Don't spend too much brain about that version-stuff. After all changes that 
have been made, I still hope that GPLv3 will be somewhat compatible with 
GPLv2, so you can use GPLv2 code in GPLv3 projects. Everything else would 
break GPLv3's neck.
