Why immediately presume that this is a RedHat-ism?  We are talking about
sysvinit after all and System V has used differentiated run-levels for
as long as I can recall.

Those specific semantics are pretty much what I recall from SVR2
although X wasn't an issue and run-level 5 was "firmware".

I'd quite like to see this implemented, although it would be quite
tricky to implement from an upgrade perspective.
