The tactic I used on 7.3 boxes was to simply use upgrades from CentOS
2.1.  Here and there it required manual tweaks, but more or less it
worked very nice.  All my 7.3 boxes used to run kernels, openssl, apache
and more or less everything else important from 2.1.  If your servers
followed "minimal install" route, this option might work nicely for you.
 Just subscribe to Red Hat's enterprise watch list, and install updated
packages as updates are released.  Needs some manual maintenance but at
least you don't need to go through full update process.
