Can you please give backup for the claim that those promoting GPLv3 used sky is falling anti-GPLv2 rhetoric? I don't think that FSF did, and I know I certainly didn't. There were some in the GPLv3 process who may have done so, I suppose, but I don't think you'll find that the majority of GPLv3 supporters agree with such people.

I still think GPLv2 is a good license. GPLv3 is a better one.
