There are many projects going on right now, such as new DS v2 APIs, ANSI interval types, join improvement, disaggregated shuffle, etc. I don't think it's realistic to do the branch cut in April.
I'm +1 to release 3.2 around July, but it doesn't mean we have to cut the branch 3 months earlier. We should make the release process faster and cut the branch around June probably.
