Could describing the difference as the newer release has more features
and is undergoing major development while the earlier release is being
concurrently supported and updated for 1 year (whatever the long term
support period is). Allowing users the choice of using the current
release series or beng able to use the older series allowing them to
upgrade at their convenience. This similar to Ubuntu's LTS release, the
LTS is support for 3 years for Ubuntu while the other releases are
supported for 18 months.

Note Ubuntu is currently using 3.4.3 as yesterday/today, 3.3.4 was
upgraded to 3.4.3 on my box today.
