Yeah, which makes technical sense... but the concern is packagers who
aren't paying attention rebuild for some other reason and are not on v6
when it's a licensing problem. ;(
(Sorry for the late reply).
It's not just packagers, it's also users. If a dependent package
switches from GPL (any release) to AGPL, users will have to add the "get
sources" button to their code when the AGPL conditions apply. If they
are not able to distribute sources at all, they will have a problem (of
course the same happens for say GPLv2+ -> GPLv3+ switches, but then it
only affects redistribution and not usage).
