No, see the existing f32-backgrounds.spec for how the subpackaging works. Animated backgrounds are in a separate subpackage that spins do not need to install.
My question was whether this Change intends to change that or whether it will stay as now. The formulation is unclear.
If the subpackaging remains as now, that is good.

The change applied for Fedora 33 while the current subppackages for F32 remains as it is as answered.
So you intend to change the subpackaging for Fedora 33? Please don't. The animated backgrounds should remain in a subpackage so that they are only installed on those desktop environments that actually support the animations and do not waste space everywhere else.
Backgrounds are a significant source of bloat for our live images (also because JPEG images are already compressed and hence are not or only barely compressible by xz (or zstd or whatever)). So it is really important to not install variants that will not actually be used.
