Last week I posted a note pointing to a draft 3.4 release plan on the wiki:

A few of you have step up to volunteer for some tasks. This is great.
This is just a draft, so feel free to modify, add additional
high-level tasks, etc.
Some of the items on the wiki are not tasks for individual volunteers,
but things we need to agree on before we can release. For some of
these items, we should try to come to a consensus now, so we can
ensure that the plan accounts for everything we want to do.
So one item from the wiki: What platforms do we want to release 3.4
binary packages for?
With 3.3.0 we had:
Windows Intel MSI
Linux Intel RPM
Linux Intel DEB
Linux x86-64 RPM
Linux x86-64 DEB
Mac OS Intel DMG
Mac OS PPC DMG
Solaris Intel PKG
Solaris Sparc PKG
Do we want to do the same with 3.4? Add ports? Remove ports? We
obviously have active porting work around BSD and OS/2. Is the intent
to have them be Apache releases? Or to be released separately?
ok it looks that we can provide
Windows
Linux 32/64 bit + RPM/DEB
MacOS Intel DMG
Solaris Intel is probably also possible, correct?
Solaris Sparc? Do we have a machine and a volunteer who would do the build?
Free BSD, OS/2 later
From my pov i would say Windows, Linux, Mac are mandatory, Solaris
would be good but no release stopper for me. If Solaris would come a
little bit later would be also fine.

Personally, I'd temper "what we want" with "what can we accomplish
well". In other words, what platforms do we think we can cover, from
a dev and test perspective, so we can have a solid 3.4 release, one
were we can confidently ask the IPMC to approve a release, and be
proud to read the reviews? There might be one answer for AOO 3.4 and
an expanded answer for AOO 4.0,
