For me, the security fixes are the big deal about staying as current
as possible. For some reason, Andy's answer triggered the thought that
you (Joris) might have a specific reason for wanting to take a minor
step up instead of the larger one now available. If you do have a
specific need for taking that lesser step up, maybe others can help
you if you describe exactly what you are looking for in 7.8 versus
7.9....
Just thinking out loud... Good luck! :)
