Did you install as 7.x or 7.2? If you installed 7.x, which is defined ass that x 
which matches the higher rev number, means you auto-upgrade. If you installed 
7.2 you go through the pain of moving up a notch or two that I am experiencing 
just now going from 6.6 to 6.8 on a machine ONLY when you WANT to make the upgrade.

e.g.  Start with 7.2 installed say late last year. You will get updates, at 
decreasing frequency, until 7.2 goes EOL, many years yet. Start with 7.x 
installed at the same time on an identical machine you get 7.2 until now with 
7.3 released. You would be automatically updated to 7.3 until 7.4 existed. And 
so forth.
