Why major mods are not updating 1.7?

Including IC2, buildcraft, railcraft, etc, why those mods are not updating to 1.7? Forge is updated. Is there something wrong?

Forge's 1.7 versions are not really stable (which you can see, since files.minecraftforge.net has NO recommended version yet for 1.7.2). Also, Updating to 1.7.2 changes a lot, the earliest forge build for 1.7.2 was released on the 26th December, that's merely two weeks ago.

And even then, people like myself are waiting for a 1.7.4 Forge to come out, because the bugs of 1.7.2 are just unbearable (my Off-Center-Disorder strongly dislikes the accidentially mirrored Textures).

Nah, that term was created by GenerikB.

I for my part can't even start updating, because a Forge bug prevents me from running the client.

And there is 1.8 on the horizon...

I think a lot of the mod developers re going to skip 1.7 and use it to prepare for 1.8
