No speculation is necessary. The Fedora/Redhat installer scripts have long supported a simple screen where one can identify the other OS one wants to have bootable in the boot loader. Now, there are a few tricks to making this accessible. And, they're not rocket science either. e.g. comment off the splash screen and the hidden menu directives, and put a Ctrl-G in the title. How hard is that?
