So if you want to combine code that's "GPL v2 or later", like most projects using the FSF boilerplate license header, with Apache-licensed code, you can put the resulting derivative work under GPLv3. It might be better to break out "GPLv2 or later" from GPLv2 only, and just lump all the "GPL-compatible non-reciprocal licenses" and all the "GPL-incompatible reciprocal licenses" together.
