Sendmail 8.7.5 was a stopgap release to fix a single one-line bug.  Eric
Allman is currently working on sendmail-8.8, and there has even been an
pre-alpha test of it.

There's not going to be any more 8.7.x releases unless there are security
holes in it.  And most likely, the same hole will apply to 8.6.X as well,
so there's little to be gained by staying back.
