The AoE limit was not a part of the classic timeline.

It was something the P99 staff introduced (at no special time in the patch history) to address the amount of staff time AoErs were taking up (and also to make P99 more classic, because on live in '99-'01 very few people had the computers/connections necessary to AoE that many ... just like very few people had multiple accounts AND multiple computers, or a way to run multiple accounts on one computer, so P99 bans boxing even though that was technically possible also).

Therefore, while no one knows for sure and we should all just patiently wait for the Green announcement ... I'd bet $50 IRL that Green will have the AoE cap from day one.
