Anaconda claims that the natural sharing of EFI System Partition
across multiple OS is not supported, neither for Install nor for Update:

  "EFI install from DVD forgets previous EFI boot"
     https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809963#c7
  "As far as sharing the same /boot/efi directory between installs, we don't
  support that -- a new copy of the grub.efi binary is written as well as a new
  grub.conf."
