The usual best practice of back-porting important fixes from the development trunk into the previous version release branch can't happen because there is no branch. The only option that would leave would be to have a set of CSOS-specific patches to 7.8.0 that get applied when building the CSOS RPM, but without changing the version number advertised to the user. This is what you had been doing anyway to patch DSD support into 7.8.0, which implies it is feasible, although I can see several reasons why it may not be desirable.
