...which goes right out the window as soon as you edit the runlevels.
If the LSB says X only starts in runlevel 5, then some LSB app or other
will break if you edit your config to not start X in rl5 (say, because
it's a box without an X server installed) or to also start X in rl2-4.
This is a given; if the standard says that foo will be true, then someone
will come up with a way to make their software fail if foo is false,
even if it has no logical connection to foo whatsoever.
