The decision to provide RT for a given mainline version is based on
bandwidth constraints of the developers, testing capacities and the
required stabilization period. There are other factors as well,
e.g. we skipped 32 simply because we were able to merge quite a chunk
of RT code into 33, which made life easier. So there is no rule which
mainline version we pick, but I can confirm that 34 will not have a RT
release.
