Once the development tree was fairly stable 3 was branched off from it. 3.x releases are mainly bug fixes and drop in updates, the basic feature set is frozen. The development branch, with its number bumped to 4, started getting all of the new and experimental stuff that people had been holding back on during the run-up to the branching. -- I've always wanted to be a dilettante, but I've never quite been ready to make the commitment.
