: I agree that if 2.7.3 appears soon that has all bugfixes from the
: intermediate (2.7.2.x) versions it is better to wait.

One should note that the intermediate versions are *NOT* from the FSF
sources, but from the linux folks generally.  2.7.3 will not have all
the patches that are in 2.7.2.x because the folks doing 2.7.2.x can't
explain the patches to the satisfaction of the FSF folks.

It isn't as bad as all that, but just something to remember.
