It is much, much harder than it seems for legal reasons. Having been directly exposed to Microsoft's legal team, I'm aware of some of the difficulties which may not have been considered previously. The main problem is contamination. Even a suspicion of contamination can cause real worries. It is difficult enough to keep two clearly distinct software projects separate enough that those who wish to cause trouble will find it hard to do so. Attempting to keep LGPL2 and LGPL3 code distinct, and obviously so, is likely to prove a nightmare.
