Yeah, probably.

So far as I can tell, Fedora has treated ExtUtils::Embed as a separate
RPM for a long time (at least since F-7). The recent change seems to be
that it's not required by perl-devel anymore, rather by perl-core (where
perl-core is defined as "everything in the upstream tarball from
perl.org"). So possibly it's just a matter of users not getting the
word as to what they should install.
