The only 7.1->7.3 gotchas I've noticed:
After upgrading glibc (which I did before anything else), I had to restart SSH 
the next morning because initgroups() had stopped working.

After upgrading identd, PostgreSQL ident authentication stopped working because 
the default was changed to encrypt the account name.  I reversed the change and 
all was well.  (Of course it took me several hours of downtime to figure out 
what the problem was because I had upgraded a number of packages at once.)

After upgrading lilo, remember to re-run it!  Make sure you have an up-to-date 
boot floppy just in case.  I guess I could have used the rescue CD if the box in 
question had had a more recent CD-ROM drive.  Instead I had to play "guess which 
partition is /" (no, I didn't have that written down anywhere).
