Are all GNU projects moving to GPLv3?  I'd thought that wasn't the
case.

In any event, I was asking about this one particular project, and not
about arbitrary other projects that might exist.  This one notes that
it's going to deliver both the first and (effectively; unless
something else changes) last versions of that particular package, and
one based on an older version, which is unlike all the other "include
everything" projects that has come by for review.

By your argument, do they all just get frozen in time?  What is your
intent?

If they all do get frozen, then that stinks, and it makes hash of the
whole rationale for trying to ship them in the first place.
