Also, if the publishers are smart they will produce books with dual mobi 7/KF8 formatting. As such the same book file will work on both mobi 7 devices and apps as well as on KF8 devices and apps.

I don't think that's technically correct. As things stand now, Amazon is only delivering one format or the other—even when publishers are submitting the dual mobi/KF8 file. So you're not going to be able to take a DRM-free version of a file delivered to a Kindle Fire and display it on a device that doesn't support KF8. In other words... no dual purpose files are being delivered to customers. The dual-purpose file is being split before delivery... based on what the requesting device/app can support.
But I think you're correct that many will neglect to even bother ensuring what they submit looks right on the older devices. But that's to be expected. It will be a very slow process, but mobi has been officially notified of its own demise.
