We've been doing both together. Please see the QA mailing list archives
and meeting minutes for the last few weeks. As Will mentioned, we have a
bunch (actually 14) proventester mentor requests which we have started
to accept as of this morning, and I asked existing proventesters to
start (or start again, as they were doing it during the pre-release F13
period) proactively testing critpath updates last night.

I'd remind you that we've actually already had a period of several weeks
where this system was active - before the F13 release, when critpath
package pushes required feedback from a member of qa or releng - and
that worked out fine, the packages got pushed and we did the release.
Now we have a better process with a dedicated group and more people in
it or about to be in it and fewer pushes to handle (I'd hope so, anyway;
there should be fewer pushes for a release *after* it goes out than
*before*), so it seems unlikely it would work any worse than it did
then.
