That's only the default.  It is not compulsory.  And there are four on my 
Debian machines, 0, 1, 2, 6.  I know that the rpm distros use different 
runlevels - e.g. run-level 5 is the equivalent of Debian run-level 2 - but 
surely they  only have the same number of levels by default, just with 
different numbers allocated to one or two of the levels?  Extra ones can be 
added in both types of distro.  0 and 6 are surely the same.  And I thought 
that 1 was too, but it is several years since I looked at this, so I may be 
wrong on that.
