I was just thinking about the occasional discussions of how runlevels are
handled by Debian vs. by Red Hat vs. by 'traditional' *nixen, and I got to
wondering:

AFAIK, runlevels 0, 1, and 6 are always, without exception, shutdown, single-
user, and reboot.  Are these numbers hardcoded into the kernel/init or would
it be possible to set up a system so that, e.g., runlevels 0-6 are normal
multi-user modes and reboot, shutdown, and single-user are runlevels 7, 8,
and 9 (without making any changes to the source)?  Not that this would be a
Good Idea - I'm sure it would break many things - but I'm curious as to
whether it's possible.
