Hi!

> It appears that there is some work going on to prepare to switch

Yes.

> What is the approximate timeframe for that change, if any?

I don't know.

> Should I jump and change the default version for my installs? I'm

Yes, and please report if you find problems 8-} We need more
testers 8-)

> Looking at the supported versions page, I would expect the change be made to 7.2.  Is that correct?

I'm not involved in the decision, but I've heard from problems
with typo3 and php7.2.
