It looks like we need to change lfs-7.9-rc1 due to security issues:

This will result in a new patch for glibc. There are other possible
packages that will need patches. Please hold off any BLFS tagging for
now.
I wonder if we should wait for 2.23 ? It looks as if backports will
have to wait, and might take some time (I only glanced at the inline
patch, but it looked "somewhat large" and the tests were in an
attachment to a followup mail.
I did some tags recently, thought I would check my mail before doing
the next batch - wish I had checked earlier. Do you want me to
alter all the 7.9 tags back to 7.8 (seems easier than 'svn revert' ?)
February 18th (2 days) was the release date put out there last month. I
honestly am on the fence about this one, however I am leaning towards
waiting for 2.23.
Possibly, but history has shown that those dates slip -- sometimes by a lot.
