The author(s) of IPv7 (TP/IX) 'abandoned' / altered it to CATNIP:

This was put up for consideration for IPng, and compared with TUBA and SIPP:

The general idea of SIPP(-16) was chosen (and tweaked) to be IPng, now called IPv6.
The criteria needed for IPng candidates were:

Doubt, seeing how IPv7 appeared around the same time as IPv6 (RFC1883, from year 1995) and we still don't see IPv7 anywhere.
To be fair, IPv7 seems to have been deprecated in 2012 (RFC6814). It had almost 20 years to catch up but, quoting the RFC, "IPv7 was never widely deployed".
