Right.

I don't think it would have any chance of working. The libraries in
rhel8 are completely different from rhel7. I don't think any epel7 rpms
will install, and if they do, I doubt they would work at all.
I tried this at one point during the beta. Yes you can get some things to install. Very few of them worked. If you are needing applications to work on RHEL-8, your best bet to get things to install will be Fedora-28. Many of these packages will install without problems and mostly work. [There are of course some ABI differences which rpm can't determine but you may find.]
