Without seeing an overview of what the changes are you cant really tell much of anything about their importance or relevance from the number of them. The number itself is also often just a consequence of how long it is since the last release was done, rather than anything inherent about the actual changes themselves (e.g Artemis 2.18.0 took 6 months, but many of those changes could/should have gone out months earlier with followup releases later for more changes, they just didnt. More than ditto for 5.17.x when it happens).

   I agree w/ @jbertram and contend @gemmellr's approach is an "engineer" perspective vs an end-user that manages a handful of ActiveMQ clusters along with 5 or 6 other products. We should target the end-user audience with the community front-page.  Kafka and Camel are doing really well with this approach.
