I have yet another theory. He probably meant to say:

"I suspect that releasing..."

As someone who is not a native English speaker, I know how this
happens. "doubt" and "suspect" can be translated into the
same word
(certainly in Japanese). As a result, these two words are often used
incorrectly.

Sorry for the confusion.

I think releasing 7.7 is much important. since 8.1 is coming soon it
seems meaningless to release 8.0. we know RHEL X.0 is basically a beta
version which just encourage people to try it. even RedHat support 8.0
only for a very short period of time.
