Its tough when you only have a short amount of time. The other aspect is that issues that may have taken a bunch of work and touched loads of code may not be of interest when giving a high-level overview. I'd put things like 1502 and 2777 into this category as well as a few in your list below Gary (Other big changes that a general audience probably doesn't care about but that we think great are removal of HTableDescriptor from HRI, move to jamon for UI, and a bunch of others that I see as I go through CHANGES.txt).
