While it's good to start planning for the next release now, I rather
think May 1st is a bit too early.  In order to roll out a release on
that time frame, the -stable branch will enter code freeze sometime in
late April, right?

That will give us just over one month to merge bits and pieces from
the -current branch and fix problems in the -stable branch.  I wonder
that would really give us a well tested, truly robust and stable release.

The 3.1-RELEASE is only one month old and users are just starting to
install it on their machines.  We have had a bunch of initial
problem/bug reports, and I expect more complaints/reports/suggestions
will come in the next few weeks.  We shall need a bit of time to sort
these things out...

I would suggest June 1st.
