Riot, are you ever going to do an all-inclusive article on how you converted the old lore?

Yes I know the new lore isn't finished yet (or I guess you could say not every character has lore, the story is never finished) but for the last few major lore releases I've really been wanting someone to go in-depth on how Riot decided what to keep and what to throw out from the old lore. People saying the old lore was completely deleted aren't really correct. Region names, character names, the status of characters (usually) in relation to the story, and some core identity factors of various people/places have stayed very much the same. In an alternate universe Riot could've forgone Demacia, Noxus, and all of Runeterra completely in an attempt to reconstruct a world that was more cohesive, but they stuck it out with a lot of old lore factors and I think the world has been made truly amazing because of it.

For example: Swain is still at the top of the hierarchy in Noxus. He still has powers granted to him by a raven, but said raven now makes sense as it is actually a demon. Noxus is still an expansionist regime and expansionism could be viewed as evil by other kingdoms who are being absorbed, yet Noxus isn't a straight up evil place anymore. Sure, it helps that the original Rioters didn't name Noxus "Evil Town" so the name could be repurposed, but who chose what was stripped and what was added to make the story more interesting?

Another example and the reason my post is being written today with the Kayle/Morgana update and other things going on: Volibear. Now, the old Volibear was a super goofy dude and there was no way in hell that character would've lived to see the new lore. His secret interaction with Zilean as well as old Rioter jokes made it clear even they thought he was too goofy and kinda dumb to be created back then, yet he found his way into the game regardless. He had many renditions, first he had a good guy rendition where he was chosen by the storm because he's a swell dude and he leads the bears. Secondly, he had lore where he was on Sejuani's side and was out for blood. The current version of Volibear as revealed in the new story Silence for the Damned (go read it now it's amazing) as well as Ornn's lore reveals an almost Lovecraftian horror in the form of a perpetually bloodied and battle-worn demigod who seems all powerful to the humans he is around and courses with electricity and violent fury which is always right under the boiling point. He's amazing, and yet there is some alternate universe where Riot just said "fuck this goofy bear dude" and transplanted him elsewhere and gave him entirely new lore. He kept his lightning powers, region of the Frejlord, and from his original lore an overarching elemental lord theme but everything else was, in my opinion, rightly removed and re-purposed into the horror we have today.

Every old character that gets added to the new canon has similar things added and removed. Some characters stayed mostly the same like Graves, Master Yi, Rengar, Elise, etc. Some characters were heavily changed to be recontextualized in the world but kept some overarching theme like Zyra, Lissandra, Nami, Janna, etc. Meanwhile some characters were nearly all removed but are still recognizable by one or two key traits like Volibear, Varus, Warwick, etc. It's not a straight hatchet job, there is a concerted effort to keep old aspects of characters and places around.

All of this leads me back to the titular question of the post, can we get an absolutely massive article on how the old lore got converted into the lore we know today, how did you decide what to keep, how did you decide what got the axe, what were some of the difficult decisions that had to be made, and is there a regret the lore team has on a character they wish they'd kept closer to the original? (and why is his name Trundle) I'm not expecting anything more than cursory answers to this post, but I would like a larger article someday soon when all the regions and characters have been rewritten.
