So my experience was that the tarballs in 
5.8.0-beta/latest_src/submodules did actually change until it was 
properly released. That was the reason i removed the hashes in my bump 
series (after having refreshed them initially).
I guess the .../<number>/submodule snapshots are probably more constant 
during the development phase, but I have no objection to leave the patch 
as is.
