Not really. Even if AA isn't going to be LTS, at the moment of releasing it, 3.3 is already EOL. LTS kernel (Linux) would help in that case. So I think it's generally a good idea to base OpenWrt releases on LTS kernels, especially if you consider how long it take us to go from beta to final.
It isn't going to help most people. Unless you are going to rebuild the firmware yourself after merging in kernel updates yourself, you aren't going to get updates. In theory the project could do this but in practice, now that there is a new branch that is not likely to happen. A better argument could be made for trying to update the kernel to something more recent before release. Work has been done in trunk for kernels that are more current and that work could probably be backported.
The policy of trying to freeze the base kernel version throughout the beta, rc and release period should maybe be changed given how long this is and how fast kernel development is.
