Good news, certainly. Will 7.3R include the gmirror improvements that 
were missed by 8.0R but that are in 8-STABLE? I have a couple servers 
using 7.2R and having those improvements in 7.3 would let me avoid the 
jump to 8-STABLE. Or is a buildworld from 7.2 to 8.x straightforward and 
safe?

Thanks also to the FreeBSD team for their continued hard work.
