Multiboot is probably fragile. Or at least it is inclined toward chaos, in that we cannot account for everything.

Fedora only tests and blocks releases against Windows and macOS existing first, and Fedora second. As there's no manifestation of support beyond community support, is anything supported? We more or less say things that we are willing to block release on are supported, as in they have to work at the time a version is released. But there's lots of buts. And one of those buts is, if you're setting up a system in a way we aren't testing, we certainly aren't going to block release on such edge cases that affect few users. Triboot is definitely one of those.

But case in point, lets say you have a completely clean system. Install Fedora copy A, and then you want to do a dual boot of two Fedoras. Say, Fedora Workstation and KDE. Or Fedora 35 and 36. Dual boot Fedoras. Supported? Nope. We have no release criterion for that. Only bugs that happen independent of that configuration would be blockers, not bugs that only manifest as part of a dual boot Fedora installation.
