Yes, but everybody would simply license further improvements under
GPLv2 only, so this isn't a huge deal, really.

Some clauses in the copyright assignment contracts prevent a move the
opposite direction, to a more restrictive license which is applied
retroactively.

That's why I wouldn't worry about it too much, even if you think that
RMS is an unpredictable lunatic (which he isn't at all).
