They dropped Red Hat 8.0 for lack of demand. They support 7.3, 9,
and just started on FC1. Before they dropped 8.0 they did release
some updates. So they would be worth applying at least.

Many times you can get away with installing RPMs from an adjacent
release. I kept a RH 7.0 system alive well beyond its official end of
life by applying security updates meant for 7.1. If that doesn't work
then rebuilding a package from the source RPM has an even better
chance of working when there's a release-version mismatch.
