Seems like splitting langpacks subpackages in all evolution packages few minutes ago just started. 
No generall agreement for such changes, ignoring already mentioned arguments.
Seems only just because "we can".

Guys if you are bored just please undress, sit down next to your clothes and watch your cloths. This will be way more productive.

There is a better way to preserve backwards compat:
define Obsoletes: %{name} < [version] in both the main package and the
langpacks packages. Then dnf will install both on upgrade, and users
can still uninstall langpacks.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1260394 for some discussion.
