You mean "the minority of contributors who

noticing, which doesn't seem very moral to me.
They signed up for "or later." If they didn't mean that, they
shouldn't have contributed. Really really.
I don't know about other wikis, but on en:wp trying to repudiate your
contributions or claim that they are declared not subject to the
license you agree to contribute under each and every time you press
"submit" tends to lead to a blocking to avoid further legal danger.
If that's the case, then there is no need for an opt-out. Mike is
suggesting that an opt-out is required, and I can't see anything that
would require an opt-out without requiring an opt-in. The issue with
"or later" clauses being invalid means we may well require some kind
of permission from contributors.
