No, Red Hat never shipped a RHEL version using 7.2.* (they went straight
from 7.1 to 7.3). This is not unrelated to the fact that the community
dropped support for 7.2, actually --- I'm sure we'd not be maintaining
7.3 anymore either, if I weren't personally on the hook to support 7.3
for RHEL3.

Bottom line is there's no one out there maintaining 7.2 at all, and even
7.3 and 7.4 are really not getting anything but the most critical bug fixes.
