The more Blizz talks about Sylvanas in 8.2 & beyond and how she won't "just die like another raid boss" & "won't go to prison" has me convinced of what I've believed for a while: They'll continue destroying the narrative to support her inclusion beyond all rational storytelling.

She absolutely will be if she macguffins her way to stopping Azshara or N'zoth. I have no doubts about that based on how the recent story has been written.
I'll remain optimistic. But... keep this in the back of my head too. Saurfang and Anduin shouldn't be in the wrong for going against Sylvanas if they pull that narrative I'll be upset.
