Honestly the point of the article seems to be that changing canon is secondary to telling a really compelling sci-fi allegory story.
I think that's exactly the point, and it's one that is often disregarded.
And to be honest, the sudden retcon of the Cardassian wars is not very easy to square with the way the Federation was presented in early TNG, existing in an era of unprecedented peace. "Contradiction" might be a stretch, but it's inconsistent.
I would, yes - it's got the majority of the info.
The majority of the lore comes from the TNG episode - the Discovery season mostly deals with a hunt for the Progenitors' lost technology, with the main revelation being that the Progenitors had found it, not invented it, so the original life-giving entities remain unknown.
They did address this to an extent, way back in TNG's "The Chase" - the TL;DR is that most sapient life in the galaxy was seeded by an ancient race, and therefore have some common ancestry. This was expanded upon somewhat in Discovery's fifth season.
Interesting - it's possible we're drawing from different sources. I found this TrekMovie piece:
He was supposed to be directing Genesis’s episode, actually, in season 2, but there was some conflict going on, and hopefully he’ll be back again. He’s the warmest, kindest person.
Yeah, this is already something they can (and do) do under the terms of NORAD.
(The actor who plays Genesis recently let slip when asked about Jonathan Frakes, that he’d been originally scheduled to direct her character’s second season feature episode but there had been “fighting going on” and Frakes was pushed back to directing a later episode!)
Oh interesting...I tracked this down, and it looks like she said "conflict," which could mean...just about anything, right down to simple scheduling conflicts.
One thing's for certain: making TV is hard.
My first thought was debate class or something like that.
a cadet is forced to confront his past and strained relationship with his family.
The obvious candidate for this based on what we've seen so far is Darem, but...

What if it's Jay-Den? He's certainly featured in a number of the stills.
Yes, indeed.
This strategy will include measures to implement unit price labelling so Canada can compare easily in this era of 'shrinkflation,' as well as support for the work of the Competition Bureau in monitoring and enforcing competition in our market," he said.
This would be a welcome requirement in my books.
The whole situation is rather odd, but I'm not comfortable speculating about what may have happened.
I'm just glad that things seem to be okay between Wiseman and production, and there at least seems to be a chance that we'll see more of her in the future.
"All Is Possible" was really not a favourite of mine, though.
I've been sitting on an essay concept for a few years now, all about how TNG was secretly (and unintentionally) about the end of an era of peace, and the Federation being shocked out of complacency.
The retconned Cardassian war (and to a lesser extent, the Tzenkethi conflicts) is the biggest challenge to address, but their very existence kind of supports the underlying notion that things were never as good as is popularly believed.
All of which is neither here nor there, and I think your point is a good one.
