What about making 3.2 a normal editon and then release 3.4 LTR? So:

* 2.18 becomes LTR from June 2017 to June ​2018
* release 3.0 in Sept 2017
* release 3.2 in January 2018
* release 3.4 LTR in June 2018

Other options would be: retire 2.18 LTR in January 2018 or postpone 3.2 until 
June 2018. Both look unacceptable for me. Who would deploy an LTR for a half 
an year? With dropped 2.14 support and 3.0 too young we'll be left without any 
stable version. And postponing the 3.2 release would only restrain the process 
of testing and maturation of QGIS 3.
