What 2.0 and 2.5 said was that "derivative work could be
licensed under 3.0, and 3.0 may include further ways to
switching to different licenses through creating a
derivative."

But that relicensing under 2.0/2.5 is limited to a CC license or iCommons license with the same license elements, that is with the BY and SA elements, isn't it?

FDL relicensing cannot be part of the BY module as it cannot be part of BY-SA-NC. The FDL allows commercial use, which would break the intent of NC and make the FDL incompatible with NC.

Creating a derivative of 2.0'd Work and releasing it
under FDL is not something 2.0 permits to a licensee.

Creating a derivative of 2.0'd Work and releasing it
under yet-to-be-published 3.0 is something 2.0 permits
to a licensee.

Creating a derivative of that particular 3.0'd derivative
and releasing it under whichever license that is okayed
in 3.0, is something 2.0 permits to a licensee.

Ah yes I see your point. Do the derivative author's rights shadow the upstream authors' rights?
