I know that I am probably going to get shot down for this one, but I really think that the run levels should be as they were supposed to be in Linux. I think that gentoo is on its own with this one (if not, then there aren't many), all the other distros use the standard run level system (1 - single user, 3 - without X, 5 with X and so on).

Think of all those Linux books out there that document the run levels and how they don't apply to gentoo. What about all those Linux administrators coming from other systems? or the people who say there is no standards in Linux and yet gentoo is adding to the differences.

I think that this is one of those things where we should be using the standard.
