One thought comes to mind - while we need a PEP to make a permanent change to the release schedule, would it be practical in any way to do a "trial run" of the process, and simply aim to release 3.4 about 6 months after 3.3?

It sounds reasonable to me, although we probably wouldn't market it as a "trial run".
