This is not your usual “so when is CO 7.8.xxxx coming out?” posts.
I’m just curious if the CentOS team is affected by our current world conditions, or is work-from-home modus operandi for the team?
(In other words, “when is CO 7.8.xxxx coming out?”)

Work from home is and has been the modus operandi from CentOS-2 ? days. That said they are affected by real world items in that when a server is dead, they can’t get someone to go into the remote datacenters without extra delays.
When it is ready. Builds started as soon as Johnny woke up and found 7.8
came out.. it just takes time because some packages don’t build right the first, second, third,… fifty-fifth time.
What happens next is the 7.8.2003 os/ tree , then install media, then cloud images and other repos (extras, CentOS Plus, SIG Content, etc).
The time line is usually about 2 weeks to complete these pieces. CR
will be update during that process .. so it will get updates as they release for RHEL 7.8 while we work towards full release.
