Yes. The release managers will allow only security bugs to be fixed in
the stable release. If you upgrade, you get non-security bugs fixed,
plus all the new features of 7.3.
The downside is that there is a somewhat greater risk of packaging bugs,
and of bugs introduced by 7.3, but 7.3 itself has been out for some
months now.
If you have real data, be sure to have good dumps before you start
upgrading, then let the package attempt an automatic upgrade.

"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give

mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine
enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink;
for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his
head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with
good." Romans 12:19-21
