Why skip 3.4?  That Plone 2.5 was a special-case major release was  
quite nasty, it confused people about what was a major release and  
what isn't.  Also, we've made a commitment to 3.x being stable, I  
think we should keep to it.  However, it would be good to open the new  
features to a wider audience ASAP.

I'd be -1 if it hurts our users by discontinuing a stable platform in  
favour of a half-way house.  If we keep Plone 3.x as fully supported  
and this being something for early adopters and dare-devils, then I'd  
be +0.  I'd be +1 if this was distinction was made explicit in the name.
