As a person on the outside with no inside info, I’d say we hope so. I’d also bet that’s the long-term plan, but whether it will do it right away upon release might be another matter.
But here’s what I would do if I were in your shoes, FWIW.
I would simply not upgrade my Mac to Catalina when that version of macOS ships. You will be able to use FW7 as long as you need as long as you don’t upgrade past Mojave. Or, you can create a partition or virtual machine (with an app like Parallels or the other one I’m forgetting) that runs an older macOS if you do feel you need to run Catalina as your primary macOS, and run FW7 on or in that.
The other advantage this will give you is you will be able to take your time migrating to FW8 when it does ship. You will be able to continue to use FW7 on sites that aren’t converted to FW8, and go through them one by one to make sure everything works as expected when they are converted to FW8.
