If you look at the http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan, you
can see that at any given point in time there is always a mature
product (currenty 3.3.2 soon 3.3.3), a new stable release with
features (currently 3.4.0) and the development branch. Critical
bugfixes are backported. Life span of a major release is about 8
months and these time ranges are overlapping.

Best regards,
Andras
