Maybe hopefully Harmy will blend them in

I hate to speak in absolutes, but that ain't happening.  IIRC Harmy's actually put a hair back onto the film in one scene.  The stated goal of this project is whatever it looked like in theatres, blobs and all.  If someone wants to make a modified partly-specialized version from that, Harmy's fine with that.

Same could've been said with the outline blocks, or whatever you'd technically call them, that had surrounded the spaceships and star destroyers in the original purist cuts but that have thankfully been erased in Harmy's IV and V despecialized releases.

They are still there in both SW Despecialized and ESB Despecialized, but look more like they did in theatres than they did on home video.  Home video releases were overly bright, making the effect stand out worse, much like the blobs.  It's more subtle now (just like in the theatre, you could easily miss it), but it's still very much there, in line with the goals of the project.

EDIT: Found the hair.
