Why isn't there a list of all reworks and VU's and their progress?

One of my favorite things in this game is how Riot make a champion feel amazing again after becoming outdated. I believe many people love these updates due to seeing their favorite champions turn into something better mechanically or visually, or a VU/Rework. One thing I don't understand is why Riot have to be so secretive on their progress with reworks and visual updates. For example, sions full relaunch has been teased about for months, but with no true information about him besides keeping his whole lore background intact. I know it might ruin the surprise but why cant we here who they are working on the most. (Sona is on PBE but who knows how long she's been being worked on at Riot) Anyway, rito plz tell me aboot (insert older champ here) rework/VU.

This is something I'm discussing with the team. How transparent do we want to be and can afford to be?

Personally, I like to keep people at least partially in the loop to see our objectives and goals, but I also want to temper that to make sure we aren't promising something we can't deliver.

I don't think we'll ever to make some sort of like.. progress bar.. and list every champion we're working on.. That seems a bit of a tall order. However, I'd like to figure out how to share what we can share. Again, gunna talk to the team about it more.

(I also like retaining some element of surprise in terms of what we're planning on releasing)

They do kinda have a list. Heres a link:

So has Sion been pushed back again? Because about a month ago, Sion was next after the Nid update, yet now according to the list he is behind Sona and Fiora.

IIRC the reason there was no list is that if something got bumped ahead of, say, Sion, then the forums would be in a rage.

So, in other words, if they don't publicly post the list, the community can't hold them accountable for putting off the problem champions in favor of that one guy who sells a bunch of skins.
