It depends on the platform. Oracle used to have a policy of supporting back releases for 18 months or so. Since 8.x has been out for about 15 months in production on some platforms, support for the 7.x releases should begin to be dropped. However, there are platforms for which there is not a current 8.x release (IBM MVS for example is 7.3.x, as of this writing), so there will be some support for 7.3 for a while. You need to check for your platform.
