CentOS 7 is the release .. point releases (7.0.1406, 7.1.1503, 7.2.1511,
7.3.1611), are 'point in time' snapshots of the CentOS 7 tree.

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)
