Fedora 15 and older, is GRUB 0.9x, and the grub.conf was manually produced except for the Fedora entries (initially anaconda, and then after that for kernel updates, grubby). Fedora 16 and newer, it's GRUB 2, and anaconda calls grub-mkconfig to produce the initial grub.cfg, and uses grubby to add entries for kernel updates. So actually I don't understand the question because Fedora itself would not ever have detected another OS. Either it's manually added to grub.conf in the old days, or it's autodetected (or not autodetected) by os-prober via grub-mkconfig on more recent Fedoras.
