CentOS has no mechanism to stay on 7.2.1511 when 7.3.1611 has been released. 7.3 and 7.2 are really just CentOS-7 with updates. The update you are seeing is the CentOS-7 tree after we finished releasing all the 7.3.1611 packages (and updates to 7.3.1611) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
