The person proposing this Change should supply some video showcasing this, or a very detailed description, otherwise people will have very varying ideas of how this works and looks.
$ sudo dnf install f32-backgrounds-animated
Select the animated background in gnome-control-center and see for yourself how it works. :) It's an XML file that describes state transitions between static images. Usually only the colors vary, transitioning to darker colors at night, lighter colors in the morning, standard colors during daytime.
Fedora has supported this for as long as I remember, we just haven't used it by default in a long time. (I think we actually shipped an animated background by default once before a while back, though it's been long enough that I don't remember that for certain.)
Alright, thanks for your explanation (which should've been part of the proposal). So "animated" (which is a very bad choice of terminology, imho) means simply a time-of-day-based slideshow.
I took the liberty to add a short explanation based on this to the Change page.
