Will we eventually get an overview of what is now canon and what is not anymore?

Pretty much the question in the title. I didn't like the radical lore retcon decision, but I do understand the reasoning and the aims behind it, so it's not that that really bothers me at the moment. What really can't be understand in all this is the fact that Riot suddenly dropped on us the big retcon bomb, with the IoW not being Canon anymore but... they filled not the voids that leaves in the story they suppose us to know yet. Maybe it's me drawing hasty conclusions, but the third part of the Reborn teaser is just confusing. It seems we're supposed to know about Darkwill demise, Swain's rise to power and the Kalamanda story arc, but the IoW played a major role there. So, what? Do we just erase from our minds one half of the story? What about dangling bounds to the institute? The time freezing to avoid war didn't happen then? Did Swain act and plot with only the Black Rose? Also, were Demacia and Noxus supposed to be both doing business in Kalamanda without getting in a war even without the IoW refraining them to do so?

Getting back to the title's purpose, I do really wonder if we will ever get some piece of paper about what is canon now and, most importantly what is not anymore! Like, you know, some kind of "lore 2.0 patch notes". And some popcorn with that too, it would be nice of Riot.

No kidding, there are a few major events that we could use a heads up on, but i feel we won't get them till we get the special game mode for it,

Ionian Occupation? We still have the CD boots from the in game event.

Kalamanda event seems to be canon but its not a sure thing yet, as Leblanc has some of J4's blood and has claimed to have used it before, we assume she used it for the Kalamanda false flag and not some generic false flag.

Didn't Noxus plan to invade the Freljord before they joined the league?

The Rune Wars, canon or retgone?

What stoping Zaun and Piltover from going to war?

They wanted the IOW gone so they could tell more stories with real conflict, well they got a lot more conflict.

Yeah, it'd be nice to get a clear idea of what's happened and what hasn't. Though I believe the general idea is that everything is mostly the same except for involvement from the Institute.

Maybe Kalamanda is nearby Urtistan and Zilean got sick and tired with all the fighting?
