That's probably the best idea.

I took a quick look at AGPL-3.0, and as far as I can see, all the
clauses that makes companies avoid GPL-3.0 are also in AGPL-3.0. Thus,
INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSES ought to be extended to also cover AGPL-3.0.

That's definitely something we need, just as we keep  GPLv2 versions
around when the upstream project has switched to GPLv3.
