[OTC VOTE PROPOSAL] Don't merge PR#14759 (blinding=yes and similar properties)

[Nicola Tuveri]

I agree with what Tomàš said, and that is the reason why I convoluted them
in a single vote: we need to merge or reject the PR based on a policy, but
if we do 2 separate votes we risk to create delays in the already quite
loaded development cycles left!
