Actually, in  yet another bow to the desktop user, sysv will probably be
dropped in favor of systemd.  Made by the same person who did
pulseaudio, it supposedly does some good--in my own case (on Fedora), it
hasn't gotten in my way, which is about all I ask of the Fedora
"improvements".   However, thanks, I believe, to Bill Nottingham, at
<modest cough> my suggestion, in Fedora's /etc/inittab are instructions
on how to fix run level. 

It seems to continue to work with chkconfig and the service command,
though it is, judging from some posts on Fedora forums, causing problems
for a few people.   (Just search systemd on Fedora forums and user
jpollard.)

However, CentOS 6 is still running /etc/inittab and one can set the
runlevel there, as well as in the kernel line.
