I don't know of any software besides the kernel having a GPL2-only license, but there probably are. It is perfectly valid, but I don't think it warrants any kind of discussion or standard yet. Like mentioned, use:
I don't think I am that original, and I have one: http://code.google.com/p/urssus/ (it's in AUR)
As you put it yourself, any program that says GPL2 is GPL2 only, you need to explicitly say "or later". People who follow the fsf recommendation closely use the text from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html that includes "or later" by default. For that reason I guess that there's more "GPL2 only" than "GPL2 or later" software out there. -- Philipp -- "Wir stehen selbst enttäuscht und sehn betroffen / Den Vorhang zu und alle Fragen offen."
