Just wondering if Debian should switch to LSB recommendation


LSB recommends:
0	halt	
1	single user mode	
2	multiuser with no network services exported	
3	normal/full multiuser	
4	reserved for local use, default is normal/full multiuser	
5	multiuser with xdm or equivalent	
6	reboot

That seems awfully restrictive, only giving the local admin a single
runlevel to customize to his own needs.

Well, for one, SysV-Init isn't restricted to the 7 runlevels listed above. And also, I can't imagine which other runlevels a local admin might want. And finally: There is nothing which could keep the local admin from modifying the runlevels. His system would just not comply with LSB anymore.
