Motorola has just confirmed that Moto G5 Plus will be updated to Android 8.0 (Oreo).
So, just relax. And wait. Good things come to those who wait

Might as well just link the official source... https://blog.motorola.com/2017/09/14/say-hello-android-oreo/
So does this mean moto will release the sources for 8.0 maybe? Not sure of their track record

Yes, they are required to release the kernel source (only) per license for using the Linux kernel. Moto has a really good history of releasing the relatively quickly after an update.
Now this is awesome news

I am shocked too see people spreading the news that moto z play will get Android 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 like its so fortunate for moto z play. I mean c'mon doesn't Google has an 18 months software update policy? This phone was just released in September 2016. So I believe our moto z play should go atleast till Anroid O yeah?!

Yes you are right!
With Android O Google makes it easier for manufacturers to develop upgrades so who knows, maybe we get even later versions of Android on our Play.

I believe that is the exact reason it will be sent to an early grave
Qualcomm will be like: nah we ain't working on that new vendor interface for our old SOC, why should we
And if not them Motorola will be like: Nah we ain't working on including that new major change Qualcomm made, too much effort for our midrange device
Nobody knows, except moto

In first Moto G era they only have few ( perhaps only 2 -5 ) line up of phones, and now they have 5 generation moto g, 4 generations moto e, moto x, x play, z, z play, x ist gen...bla bla bla....many phones.... I suppose the human resources who handling this software update increases now if we compare with the first generation of Moto G. The problem is could they handle all of it??? I don't know what they are thinking....Why they dont make it more simple, so they can focus on more after sale services....
I was angry before about this condition but let take a positive side in here. An update does not always make the phone better, probably they learned from last year update....let talk moto x play, after recent update a lot some or most of user faces SD card problem and the solution is changing the motherboard, so the update killed the motherboard . I think they are not ready to support all their phone's line up.
This is the line up for 2017 phone : Moto C , Moto E4, Moto G5, Moto G5 Plus, Moto GS , Moto GS plus, Moto Z2 play, Moto Z2, Moto Z2 Force, Moto X

Nobody here knows, no point asking.
Closed to avoid adverse comments in that regard.
Android O has already booted on g5 plus somewhere!
(Looks like vache is working on a Android O based custom ROM.)
Exciting!
Maybe its just me, but Oreo seems to be progressing a lot faster for non nexus devices than previous android versions. Can't wait.

Yup one of the feature is easy migration and seems like not lot of changes too.
This is just a start, a good one. Apparently, there are many bugs to be fixed. Also, I wonder whether Treble will be integrated (or we have wait till Motorola's official release)
This looks promising. Thanks for sharing
Moto G5S plus is running android 7.1.1 (INDIA) out-of-the-box and here we are still running 7.0
why this partiality? or lack of team?
we are thinking of Android O huuh!

Moto G5 Plus and Moto G5S Plus have the same firmware. The difference lies in screen size and camera.
So it will not be difficult for Lenovo to update Moto G5 Plus. But I don't think Lenovo will update Moto G5 Plus with even security patches, Android version upgrade seems impossible.
for those who canr wait to check.

Hi comunity, I need to know if the upgrade to Android 9 will have new funtions in Camera compare to Moto G6, Z3. I wait for your comments!
Depends on the ROM. If it includes a backport of Moto Camera 2 then yes, otherwise most likely no
