Yes! That's exactly what this is; taking my 5E "Faiths of the Flanaess" book and reconverting it to 1E. The direct inspiration came from that very Ask the Experts chat a couple of weeks ago. :-)

So excited that you're doing this!
I know that you’ve essentially done the equivalent of this exercise for the 5e ruleset. And I know you’ve mentioned on several occasions that (back in the AOL Greyhawk days) you had made all sorts of 2e specialty priest kits, . . . but that all that work got lost to the mists of time :(
So after that OGL debacle from WotC, when you decided to go all-in as far as OSR-compatibility, I wondered to myself if you might ever take all that 5e stuff you did for clerics in Greyhawk and generate OSR versions of it?
In fact, I wondered that all over again when I heard you talk about your 5e cleric stuff on the "Ask the Experts" session (at the end of Virtual Greyhawk Con IV) ;)
All to say, I’m excited that you’re doing this, because I’m still debating whether or not to switch from 5e (which my son and his friends have always wanted me to use) back to OSR (1e)? For me, the cleric variants for different Greyhawk deities are a big deal, which makes the idea of switching all the more compelling :)
