Yes, 6 and 7 will be EOLed when 8.0 GM is released - at the moment they are being updated only for critical reasons (eg SSL update, or XCode compatibility).
So yes, you should be considering wholesale transfer to 8 ASAP. The vast majority of further work on 8.0 will be LiveCode Builder or IDE related, so the core engine is pretty stable and has many improvements over the 7.1 engine.
