GPLv2 is not going away.  There's no reason for it to.

<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/rms-why-gplv3.html>

The improvements to freedom that come with GPLv3 include
making it more difficult to prevent installation of modified
versions on dedicated equipment, allowing people to remove
digital restrictions management from GPLed code which might
otherwise fall under anti-circumvention laws, and preventing
the use of patents from limiting redistribution to only
certain parties.
