Well i did it last night, I bit the bullet and did the yum upgrade.
The only issues I had were:
when installing authconfig got this: warning: group lock does not exist - using root
I added lock group to my /etc/group manually, but didnt alter authconfig
I had to remove the "sa" files too because they were generating errors for some reason.
I also had to remove the stuff from automount (/misc stuff) it was causing errors too.
But after I did all that, I ran lilo again just to make sure the kernel was in, then rebooted the box and prayed... it came back, no problems since.

The only 7.1->7.3 gotchas I've noticed:
After upgrading glibc (which I did before anything else), I had to restart SSH the next morning because initgroups() had stopped working.
After upgrading identd, PostgreSQL ident authentication stopped working because the default was changed to encrypt the account name. I reversed the change and all was well. (Of course it took me several hours of downtime to figure out what the problem was because I had upgraded a number of packages at once.)
After upgrading lilo, remember to re-run it! Make sure you have an up-to-date boot floppy just in case. I guess I could have used the rescue CD if the box in question had had a more recent CD-ROM drive. Instead I had to play "guess which partition is /" (no, I didn't have that written down anywhere).
