b) don't use testing updates at all during the whole cycle
This makes the install process more stable (testing updates can't break it). The
installed packages more closely match what the composes consist of (the composes never use
testing updates, but occasionally they might include a few extra packages on top of what
is currently stable, if QA requests it). After Beta, you will not end up with a system
that contains testing packages, but the testing repo is disabled (that might throw some
people off, if they don't know they should use dnf distrosync instead of dnf update).
The downside is that before Beta, you'll need to install the system and then also
update it, to have all the latest packages (including testing updates).
This one has my vote, as I really feel that having install media that
is unpredictably reliable (especially at Beta) reduces our ability to
get people testing it.
