Sure, it doesn't affect the recipient's rights.  But if a future version
of the GPL includes stronger demands on the distributor, specifying the
actual version of the rules under which you provided it will become
attractive real fast.

Nothing actually stops GPL v26 including unthinkable things someone
might demand you live up to.
