The 7.3beta has Xorg 1.17.2. The norm over the lifespan of RHEL 6 and 7 
has been to update Xorg every other release (see below), so I would 
expect Xorg to stay at 1.17 for 7.3 and next be updated in 7.4.

Xorg versions in RHEL
RHEL6.0 = 1.7.7
RHEL6.1 = 1.7.7
RHEL6.2 = 1.10.4
RHEL6.3 = 1.10.6
RHEL6.4 = 1.13.0
RHEL6.5 = 1.13.0
RHEL6.6 = 1.15.0
RHEL6.7 = 1.15.0
RHEL6.8 = 1.17.4

RHEL7.0 = 1.15.0
RHEL7.1 = 1.15.0
RHEL7.2 = 1.17.2
