I know this comes up on the list quite often, but if you want security
updates for 7.3, you're going to end up with 7.9 + patches, so why are
you making your life difficult and installing such an old release?
If a vendor is telling you that you have to run a particular version,
perhaps you should consider finding another vendor, the baseline 7.3
has a lot of glaring vulnerabilities in it that are readily
exploitable.

One reason might be that somewhere between 7.3 and 7.9, Centos ceased
being bootable on Apple hardware. At least that failure occurred for
me on two machines.
