Yes, that would also be an option that can be discussed and IMHO
preferable to the current 9 months gap.

What I fear is, that a lot of communication already happened that 3.2
will be the next LTR and it will be harder to communicate this a change.
I also couldn't find any compelling advantage of this approach.

I don't find any reference to this consideration (and I'm also not aware
that this has ever been an argument).
On the other hand I think we wanted to have more time in feature freeze
for the ramp up of QGIS 3 which at the moment is just a tiny bit more
than the usual 1 month (18.8. - 29.9.), that's possibly another point to
discuss.
