As to QA, I have REL7_2_STABLE coming down my dialup now. I'll try a test
build (given the CVS versus dist tarball quirks -- I really need to duplicate
the distribution scripts Marc has so that I can preroll tarballs from CVS
here...) tonight or tomorrow and see where it leads. My biggest difficulty
is merging any necessary RPM-specific patches -- and I have a couple of new
ones to put in, particularly a set of ones to contrib from Peter that I've
not yet merged in.

Keeping 7.3 and 7.2.2 issues separate is going to be a challenge -- but we
always knew there'd be this possibility. I _know_ my build environment isn't
set up to parallel QA releases. And with Sep 1 nearing, I really need to get
my act together on building pre-7.3...
