As the original announcement said:
"Although only JtR 1.8.0 source code and .chr files are available at this
time (to be used mostly on Unix-like systems, where building from source
is customary and convenient), we do intend to release Windows build(s)
of JtR 1.8.x, a jumbo based on 1.8.x, and a Pro based on 1.8.x at a
later time. Meanwhile, magnum is regularly sync'ing the bleeding-jumbo
branch on GitHub to be based on the latest core tree (which means 1.8.0
at the moment)."
So, yes, we'll make a jumbo release based on 1.8 eventually, and
meanwhile you may use the bleeding-jumbo branch if you like - or you may
stay with 1.7.9-jumbo-7 indeed.
To provide a direct and useless answer to your question, there's no
reason for us to call the new version "jumbo 7", unless and until we
make some use of the lower 6 numbers first. ;-)
