I was surprised, only about 2 weeks ago, to find that I could still do
"up2date -u" on a RH 8 box, and it pulled down all the updates from 
RH and did the update.

I understand that there are no NEW updates, but still, it was nice to
be able to bring it up to at least the state it s hould have been in at
the end of the year.

So, my point is, it MAY be that you can do the same for 7.3, if RH has
been so kind as to not remove the necessary files from their servers, yet.
