This is my first time applying a patch, so I hope I did it properly.

Thank you. I may have been unclear but the result seems to be the
opposite of what I was hoping for.

I was hoping to be able to gain the ability to use the org-todo face
with blocked tasks, while retaining the org-priority face which was
previously working..

Now blocked tasks are entirely rendered with
org-agenda-dimmed-todo-face, including the priority.

In case I messed up the patch, here is the patched function:

--
(defun org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks (&optional _invisible)
  "Dim currently blocked TODOs in the agenda display.
When INVISIBLE is non-nil, hide currently blocked TODO instead of
dimming them."                   ;FIXME: The arg isn't used, actually!
  (interactive "P")
  (when (called-interactively-p 'interactive)
    (message "Dim or hide blocked tasks..."))
  (dolist (o (overlays-in (point-min) (point-max)))
    (when (eq (overlay-get o 'face) 'org-agenda-dimmed-todo-face)
      (delete-overlay o)))
  (save-excursion
    (let ((inhibit-read-only t))
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (while (let ((pos (text-property-not-all
(point) (point-max) 'org-todo-blocked nil)))
      (when pos (goto-char pos)))
(let* ((invisible
(eq (org-get-at-bol 'org-todo-blocked) 'invisible))
      (todo-blocked
(eq (org-get-at-bol 'org-filter-type) 'todo-blocked))
      (ov (make-overlay (if invisible
    (line-end-position 0)
  (line-beginning-position))
(line-end-position))))
 (when todo-blocked
   (overlay-put ov 'face 'org-agenda-dimmed-todo-face)
            ;; Override other overlays.
            (overlay-put ov 'priority 50))
 (when invisible
   (org-agenda-filter-hide-line 'todo-blocked)))
        (if (= (point-max) (line-end-position))
            (goto-char (point-max))
 (move-beginning-of-line 2)))))
  (when (called-interactively-p 'interactive)
    (message "Dim or hide blocked tasks...done")))

Thank you, Mark
