Yes. We already discussed this: the consensus was that it's better to
inconvenience the early adopters of 7.3 than leave a time bomb sitting
there throughout the 7.3.* cycle.

BTW, if we do make a major bump, that would suggest we ought to get
7.3.1 out as soon as possible, so as to minimize the uptake of 7.3.
I have been thinking that a mid-Dec release of 7.3.1 would be a good
plan anyway, since we already know of several moderately serious bugs
in 7.3.
