I suspect that Chris is asking because it's simpler to set up
dual-boot when you use UEFI because there's no fighting over what's in
the MBR.

With UEFI, you have separate "/boot"s for Fedora and Ubuntu and mount
the EFI system partition on "/boot/efi", containing the different grub
executables.

The "which-grub-controls-boot-problem" migrates to which grub, Fedora
or Ubuntu, comes ahead in the boot order, but it's more benign
problem.
