Well, only thing that cannot be tailored for a vserver seems to be the
kernel version. So if 7.3 expected a 2.4.x kernel, and 7.2 provided a
2.2.x kernel, you are in trouble.
Considering the kernel one can expect a distribution to support perhaps
a newer kernel, but for sure no one will go to the trouble supporting an
older one.
