In the context of my e-mail, only that v2 is the most recent released
version of the GPL, and that using 'v2' in contrast to 'v2+' meant that
you actually saw the 'contract' your code was released under.
In other words, I meant 'guaranteed safe' in the sense that you
eliminate all uncertainty of the future.

Yes, and it also preemptively guarantees whatever v3+, v4+, etc.
guarantees (in addition to v2).
Is this a bad thing? Depends who you talk to.

One, this will only happen if v3 allows relicensing, which is almost
infinitely unlikely (from what I know).
Two, I'm not really worried about the Wiki at all. Nor am I advocating
one license style over the other -- I was merely summarising what
everyone else was advocating in order to understand it. :)
(Sorry for the message delay -- busy week at work. One we would likely
not have gotten through, sanity intact, without arch. Wahoo!)
