We do not believe we will ship a 7.8.4 at all, contrary to what you may have seen on Trac - we never decided definitively, but there is likely not enough time. Over the next few days, I will remove the defunct 7.8.4 milestone, and re-triage the assigned tickets.
The only potential issue here is that not a single 7.8 release will be able to bootstrap LLVM-only targets due to #9439. I'm not sure how much of an issue this will be in practice but there should probably be some discussion with packagers to ensure that 7.8 is skipped on affected platforms lest users be stuck with no functional stage 0 compiler.
