OK, as there were no objections to this, I've gone ahead and done it:

https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Fedora_32_Final_Release_Criteria&diff=557560&oldid=557559

I also updated the validation matrix and instructions as discussed:

https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Cloud_test_matrix&diff=557562&oldid=537484
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ACloud_Setup&type=revision&diff=557566&oldid=534525

and marked the Xen test as Optional on the installation matrix. Please
let me know if anyone sees any issues here. Thanks!
