Nope, 7.3 is being back-patched currently but there is no promise that that
patching will continue. I think this is on our web page somewhere ...

i.e. we *promise* to patch at least two versions back, and may patch more
if we feel like it (or more accurately if someone sponsors it) but
patching versions older than 2 versions old is NOT guarenteed.
