Pie in the sky: the Yudkowsky sequences edited, condensed, and put into an Aristotelian/Thomsian/Scholastic order. (Not that Aristotle or Thomas Aquinas ever did this but the tradition of the scholastics was always to get this pie in the sky.) It might be interesting to see what an experienced book editor would advise doing with this material.
Rat:A-Z is like...a slight improvement over EY’s first draft of the sequences. I think when Craig says condensed he has much more substantial editing in mind.
I don’t know for sure, my guess is 80⁄20. Rob wrote some great introductions that give more context, but mostly the remaining posts are written the same (I think).
Doesn’t Rationality: From AI to Zombies achieve this already?

FYI R:AZ is shorter than The Sequences by a factor of 2, which I think is a substantial improvement. Not that it couldn’t be shorter still ;-)
How much of that is selection (omitting whole articles) and how much is condensation (making individual articles shorter)?

Oh huh, TIL. Thanks!
