I thought I was quite precise. Apple does not have any GPLv3 packages in _Mac OS X_.

Yet they have plenty of GPLv2 packages there. Some packages like bash and rsync are frozen at their last GPLv2 versions.

So yes, while v2->v3 changes might seem trivial to you, they are definitely NOT trivial for a lot of other people.
