Because it's probably the easiest transition to something supported.
RHAS is more-or-less RHL 7.2, and in my ignorance I think it the likely
source for most RHL 7.3 fixes over time. It's the first place I would
look. If the transition is likely to work, it should do so with a
minimum of fuss and bother - binaries are compatible, for example, and
might not even require a reboot (except maybe to change kernels).
An upgrade to a newer release at some point is likely, but not on that
physical box.
