The difference is in regards to new features.

Instead of waiting 1-2+ years for new features, there are several branches that 
co-exist at the same time. Each time a new branch is created, it receives new 
features. Within that branch only bug changes are put in (much like the 1.4 
branch).

Hopefully my little ASCII art design will do my explanation some justice.

                             1.6.0.0     1.6.0.1
                                  |        |
       1.6.0 branch (bug fixes) --------------->
_____/_____________________________________> trunk (features)
                    \
                     1.6.1 branch (bug fixes) ------------->
                                               |        |
                                           1.6.1.0    1.6.1.1
