The 5.7 - 5.8 transition should require little to no rewriting of 
application-level code, so I'd suggest sticking with the released 5.7 for 
serious production. If you're inclined, though, and you have the resources, 
you could set up a box with 5.8000_06 in parallel for testing -- that would 
let you know about any hassles you might have upgrading in the future, as 
well as letting you contribute bug reports on 5.8 to avoid said hassles. :)
