There is a "Download" page on the Advocacy site that has pointers to the
7.2 source tarball, RPM, and source RPM.  This page will definitely be
updated to point to the 7.3 versions at release time, so maybe it's
worth pointing to that page, and therefore giving them further
information (through the Advocacy site) to take a look at if they're
curious?
