With the release of 7.2.2 and (EMC's Edsel) 7.3; isn't 7.2.1 legacy
software now? <grin>

What are the differences from 7.2.1 -> 7.2.2???

7.2.2 supposedly has the fix for the very nasty security vulnerability
in nsrexecd that EMC sort of "stealth announced" on their new support site
(which I hate).  It bothers me that the fixed bugs list for 7.2.2 doesn't
mention the particular LGTpa id that corresponds with the security
vulnerability, but according to the product alert, the fix is included in
7.2.2.

Read through the fixed bugs list for your platform (e.g. uxfbl for UNIX),
and the release notes for 7.2.2.  The fixes are spelled out pretty
clearly.  If you're already running 7.2.1, 7.2.2 should be as stable, if
not more so.  Whether there's any compelling reason for you to upgrade
will depend on what you see in the fixed bugs list.
