So why not update to Mga8?. Note that you will probably not be able to
update directly from Mag7 to mga9. You will have to do a fresh install
and then update all of your configurations by hand. Mageia does not try
to make such an update possible. 7-8 should work as should 8-9 but 7-9
may well not work, and noone has tested it.
As to when 9 will be released, their usual answer is "when it is ready".
