Oh seriously, don't even waste time worrying about it. 7.2 died a long
time ago, 7.3 was EOL the beginning of this year [1], and 7.4 is about
to go the same way real soon now. Normally adding 7.3 support is fairly
easy if required, whereas going back to 7.2 is often a complete pain,
plus you have to live with several unfixable data loss bugs...
HTH,
