Actually a handful of PETSc 3.8 API changes reported at
https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/changes/38.html
For the most part just renaming a few existing functions, so should be
easy to adapt to if needed.
If there's trouble then it might be worth asking sundials upstream
about readiness for PETSc 3.8 (I won't drop petsc 3.8 from experimental
to unstable until we have some certainty).
In the meantime I've now uploaded PETSc 3.7.7, the last point release
before 3.8. Same ABI (and API) as other 3.7 versions, just a routine
update.
