Im really hoping Nilbog has the most insanely ocd list that he is setting up for the green patches.

I feel like if it were up to him, he'd have a patch for every live patch, but alas he is not a billionaire so making that happen is likely a stretch, but it wont be for the 4rth of 5th iteration of green (that I will happy play on of course!)
I'm way too lazy to find it myself, but if you go back through all of Nilbog's posts I know at some point he mentioned that they explicitly set up an entire system (whether it's "OCD" or not is subjective) for tracking every change they made to Blue, precisely so that they could later have them all flow perfectly (and without any additional effort) on Green ... although that post is old enough that "Green" wasn't even the established name back then.

From Nilbog's (limited) comments on the matter over the years, I've gotten the sense that they were building that system once. Essentially the entire (10-year) project and everything they ever did with Blue was about building that system. Once it's built, it did not sound like they were planning to go back and find all the really obscure short-lived changes and implement them.

They haven't talked a ton about "what comes after Blue" at all, but when they have it's been exclusively custom content talk, not "Green 2.0 will be better than 1.0, but Green 3.0 will have even more obscure stuff, and Green 4.0 ..."
