dev is not older than 5.8, but it may be missing the last week of commits into 
the 5.8 branch, just as 5.8 may be missing the last week of 5.7 and 5.7 the 
last week of 5.6. It just takes time for the changes to propagate through 
merges from one branch to the next one.

No, they shouldn't. Using the default is fine. 

By the way, the current default should be 5.7, since it's the current stable. 
After the beta, we'll switch to 5.8.
