boost in 7 is now too old for some things, in addition to gcc. There are solutions in 7 to those issues but it's starting to feel like 6 felt shortly before 7 came out, so I wonder if it is getting near to time.
I'm working on a major project bitcoin related and it would be frustrating to deploy a bunch of CentOS 7 virtual machines only to have 8 come out fairly soon afterwards.
Take a look at

Given that, don't count on a release real soon. Furthermore, a RHEL release normally has a public beta period of at least 6 months or so. So, even if a public RHEL 8 beta would be released now (which is very unlikelely), CentOS 8 would not become available in 2017.
