That doesn't change the analysis one iota.

If GPLv4 turns out to be something your developers are not comfortable
with, and you copied GPLv2+ code, you are in trouble.

On the other hand if you copied GPLv2-only code you have all the time
in the world to decide if you want to stay with GPLv2-only, or switch
to GPLv4 and rewrite that code.

The only practical difference is that with GPLv2-only you have all the
time in the world to decide, but with GPLv2 the *second* GPLv4 is
released, you (and your contributors) must make a choice.
