It's not politically feasible since official GNU projects are supposed
to reflect the GNU project's philosophies.  I seem to recall that there
was a mandate that all official GNU projects were expected to use v3 for
any releases past some date (2007-07-31?) which means reverting to v2 is
not on the table.  But I could be misremembering.
