Is this really an issue?

Since the FSF believes that an update of the GPL is needed, and is working hard to make sure a usable one is produced, why wouldn't they want to limit their hosting service to projects which allow the use of the new license?

It's nice that the author of the application wanted to host his project on the FSF's service, but surely there are plenty of other community hosting services out there that would be more appropriate, if he wants to use an older license.

Everyone has lots of choices. That seems like a good thing.
