I did two _upgrades_ from 7.2 Ximian Gnome systems to Redhat 7.3 today.

The upgrade comes up with a warning that 3rd party software is installed
and the upgrade may screw it up.  I told it to continue, and the
upgrades finished without any errors.

Then I had a mix of 7.3 & 7.2-ximian Gnome RPM's.  So I ran the Ximian
7.3 installer and installed all the 7.3 Ximian stuff.  Then I ran
red-carpet and updated a few packages the installer missed for some
reason.  I think I totally up to date on 7.3 on those systems now.
