I don't think we can do two releases in the next 7 months. We discussed 
shortening release cycles again in QtCS but the conclusion was "let's look 
into this after the new CI is in place".

Anyway, the main point of decision is whether we want an LTS containing stuff 
effectively deprecated. That means maintaining it for a long period, which we 
don't want and don't have the manpower for.

It would be the ideal solution, but I simply don't think we could pull it off. 
Tough luck.
