5 works to override multi-user.target.

3 works to override graphical.target.

Systemd aliases the old runlevels to its targets, so that 'init [S,1-6]' and
'telinit [S,1-6]' can more or less work like they used to with SysV.

With RedHat's rpm runlevels, 3 nominally meant everything except GUI, with 2
nominally meaning multiuser without networking, but a lot of rpm distros
included basic networking in 2 and 3 was distinguished to include most services
that depend on functioning network.
