Not even MIT licensed works get relicensed. Copyright works on the level of 
individual contributions, so your part of the work carries its license 
forever.

Someone might add parts under GPL,though,and these parts would not 
automatically be licensed under by-sa.

So your reason for not wanting GPL is an additional protection which *might* 
get added to cc by-sa 4.0? It’s nothing in by-sa 3.x?
