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.
