Neither of those has been released yet so no plans as of now.

OK may be you should wait until fall release of yocto

4.7.3 is probably a snapshot you are talking about. We have moved away
from snapshots for gcc since git repo for gcc is in terabytes and
using svn did not go well with gcc recipe. If 4.7.3
is release in few days I will be happy to consider but as such we are
staying with 4.7.2

You could try and may be even keep recipes in a layer and we can then
progress them
into OE-Core once the time comes.
