I have no real information on this either .. but one thing to think
about is that RHEL-7 is much less conservative with 'rebases' than the
older RHEL versions.  (Case in point, major shifts in Gnome, KDE, Xorg,
etc.)

With containers and software collections, and with more aggressive
rebases in the Desktop space, I see the timelines becoming a little
longer between major versions.

Also, as others have said, I see no alpha or beta for RHEL-8 anywhere.
RHEL-5 does go EOL at the end of March 2017, so I guess a beta could
happen soon(ish).
