Thanks,
 
You are correct.
I also have Boot000F* Fedora
from this distribution (BootCurrent: 000F)
 
and
BootCurrent: 0000
Timeout: 1 seconds
BootOrder: 0000,0002,0001,0003,0004,0005
Boot0000* fedora
 
From another one.
 
I wanted to understand what this means.
There is logic in this numbers.

Hello,

On a multi-boot PC, how grub is updated?
In the past /etc/grub2.cfg was updated.

and now?

It seems that there are 2 tools: bootctl, and efibootmgr

What are the files managed by these tools?

How to understand?
BootCurrent: 000F
 
Is there a problem you need to solve or are you trying to understand how booting is handled by Fedora on an EFI system?
 
Where did you see this: error message, log, or ??   On a dual boot system using EFI,  "efibootmgr" with no arguments should display something like:
 
 % efibootmgr
BootCurrent: 0003
Timeout: 0 seconds
BootOrder: 0003,0000
Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager
Boot0003* Fedora
 
A better name for the "Fedora" entry might be "Grub boot manager".
 

Which tool is run after an update of the kernel?
 
bootctl -- both those tools have man pages that explain how they are used.   
 
Since you are multi-booting, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_system_partition might he helpful.  
 
 
The grub configuration files were recently reorganized into a grub.d directory (you can opt out and stick with the old structure). See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/rawhide/system-administrators-guide/kernel-module-driver-configuration/Working_with_the_GRUB_2_Boot_Loader/
