No, that's all that needs to be done.  If we find a file that is not
v2-or-later, then we need to think about what to do.

AFAIK all licenses that can be promoted to GPLv2 can also be promoted
to GPLv3.  I don't think there's anything to worry about except files
that say they are GPLv2 and not later.
