I gut got a patch for libpipeline that fixes a test due to the latest check package. That will definitely go into 7.8.
That is a tough one. I obviously need more time to get systemd ready, but you are correct, if we wait for the latest on everything, then we will be waiting forever. My currency report for BLFS Systemd shows over 100 packages out of date still and some of them have me scratching my head. I want to freeze when you guys do, but there is no guarantee at this point. If we wait then there is a large chance I can be all up to date by then. I can wait to do KDE until the new version is released, and that saves lots of time on my end. Bruce, thank you for your changes on trunk LFS. I am preparing to run an automated build of systemd LFS with your updates merged. Douglas R. Reno
