So, is 7.3.2 Jumbo Update 1 a newer release than 7.3.2 Jumbo 11 which we 
installed in December?

I can't quite grok EMCs versioning ..
Who can?

Thay have taken a perfectly good numbering system and mangled it. 7.3.2 is a maintenance release, so any patches should result in the third number being incremented. So 7.3.2 jumbo 11 should have been 7.3.3 and 7.3.2 jumbo update 1 should have been 7.3.4.

Then again, they should never have introduced new functionality in a maintenance release either, and they've broken that rule too.
