Better early than late I hope! We've been waiting for 7u40 for some 
time. I haven't seen any contributor discuss testing details of 7u40 in 
detail. From an Oracle perspective, I know alot of resources have been 
dedicated to the project and as communicated previously testing results 
were good.

There's an ongoing project where jdk 8 EA binaries have test results 
published on a build by build basis[1]. You could make contact with that 
team [2] and see if 7u EA results can be published.

7u40 branch ? 7u40 has shipped. 8016131 was fixed in July. A push to 
jdk7u-dev will be possible. I've created a bug for you:

8024648: 8016131 breaks Zero port
