Actually, Redhat like to stay very silent during development of their next 
version.

For example - did you know that GCC 3.1 CVS is the new default compiler in 
Redhat rawhide? (8.0), so I wouldn't recommend people grab RPMS from rawhide 
since (I assume) they're compiled with the new GCC which is incompatible with 
RH 7.X...
