I do not boot Fedora, so I am not sure. One workaround would be just to add your own entry to 40_custom, but you would have to manually update on each kernel update to Fedora. Does Fedora do like Ubuntu and put links in / (root) to the most recent kernel?

Paste contents of results.txt in a New Reply, then highlight entire file and click on # in edit panel(code tags) to make it easier to read.
Or You can generate the tags first by pressing the # icon in the New Reply Edit toolbar and then paste the contents between the generated [ code] paste here [ /code] tags.
V60 has improved formating and requires code tags to make it legible. New Version is a zip file that you have to extract to get .sh to run.
Install these before running script:
sudo apt-get install mawk
no, fedora doesn't put the most recent kernel in root like ubuntu does, but maybe it is in /boot.
here is the results from bootinfoscript.sh
