Hang on here. It sounds like we're following previous methodology to
our (possible) slight detriment here.

At present, we need 7.3 to start, so that people can begin working on
it.

We also need to have the 7.2 branch, so stuff for the to-be 7.2.x can be
included there where appropriate.

So, lets get it branched, because that's what needs to be done here and
now, in this instance.

Then people with a burn to do 7.3 stuff can do so, and things can be
added to 7.2.x where needed.

:-)
