Sun T5220 Firmware question

Hello all,

I've been researching this to no avail, I have a T5220 running firmware 7.2.2.e (139442-06)

However, the issue I have is that I want to update the firmware yet Oracle maintains 3 different sets of firmware for the T5220:

7.2.x = (139442-14) Being the latest at 7.2.11.a; Released 12/13/2011
7.3.x = (145675-06) Being the latest at 7.3.3; Released 11/17/2011
7.4.x = (147309-04) Being the latest at 7.4.2.a; Released 12/13/2011

Why would Oracle maintain 3 sets, and if anyone knows why I should or should not update to the 7.4.x line when I'm presently running a 7.2.x

If anyone knows anything more about this than I do, I would appreciate any insight.

DESCRIPTION

     This module provides access to firmware sets for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 series of IEEE 802.11 adapters.  It may be statically linked
     into the kernel, or loaded as a module.

     For the loaded firmware to be enabled for use the license at /usr/share/doc/legal/intel_ipw/LICENSE must be agreed to by adding the following
     line to loader.conf(5):
