I notice that the system which declares 7.3 has been supposedly running 7x for a
very long time now, before 7.4 went public. I also notice some of the installed
repos, such as elrepo, explicitly say 7x. Other's use $slreleasever.
I figure there must be some good reason for this. I'm wondering what that good
reason might be.

Two things could be happening--
(1) yum typically has a delay built into it of a couple days before it refreshes
the repo cache when the repo has been changed, and thus may not have detected
the new repo is there.
(2) yum update could be failing for some reason--if you have a stock system
there will be e-mail in your root account saying why.
My systems got the 7.5 updates yesterday May 11.

At least that's what I get on one system. The other is still declaring 7.3:
[... /etc]$ cat /etc/yum/vars/slreleasever
7.3
Shouldn't that read 7.x or something else if it's really following 7x?
