No, the criterion has nothing to do with RHEL. I don't know if
multi-boot is even a supported deployment method for RHEL (I suspect
not, but I have absolutely no idea). It was created as part of the
original criteria effort at F13 because this is something people
generally expect Linux distributions to be able to do, and they get
angry if they can't. Each time this has been brought up since, it's
seemed fairly clear that the majority of people still believe this
should be the case, even though you think it's now a 'legacy' thing.
