Well, I'm glad somebody finally said it.  Even the filenames are 
inconsistent with previous releases.  What's worse, with no update 
directory (and no clear indication as to which tarballs are 
R7.3-specific), the version of each and every package has to be compared 
with what's already installed.

I'm not a distributor, but I do build and maintain my own systems.  I took 
one look at R7.3 and said to myself, "Uh-uh...not worth the trouble."
