The CPLEX solver in the upcoming OSI revision (watch this space) will be
v8 (at least if I write it).

While I agree, I would recommend making only the minimum changes to the
current CPLEX interface to get it working.  The next version of OSI should
require much less effort to produce solver interfaces for.

Unfortunately, not everyone on this team can produce code as fast as John
F.  Some of us have day jobs...

Depending on how much needs to be changed, maybe just a compiler switch
would be enough.  Lisa, can you take a look and report briefly on how
involved the update will be?
