I think it would be useful to keep some modules GPLv2, at least for some
time.
I have no problems with changing to (L)GPLv3-only for possibly the
majority of modules, unless there are GNU projects under (L)GPLv2 using
a particular module, or if there is some other good reason to stay with
v2.

RMS suggested that GnuTLS shouldn't be upgraded now. It would create
unnecessary work if I have to fork the current gnulib modules and
maintain them separately, which would be needed if gnulib switched to
(L)GPLv3.
