Run level 4 - Monday. I have a test server that starts one set of
services if I start in run level 3, and a different set if I run in
run level 4. If I run it in run level 5, I can use it as a
workstation. I do not use run level 2 very often. I use run level 1
more often for fixing problems. Run level 2 is not a clean
non-networking level any more.

Then again, you get users that never boot anything except run level
5. They also use the system-config-services GUI to control what
services are run. Unless they use the run level editor, it is the
same as running chkconfig <service> on when they enable a service.
Chkconfig then uses the header information form the daemon control
file in /etc/rc.d/init.d to determine both the run levels and
start/stop order value for the daemon.

I guess you and I look at things differently. I feel that the
defaults are there for a reason. I am not going to blindly override
them. But I will make make informed choices to override them. I feel
that always running chkconfig --level 35 <service> is risking
problems without adding value. If you know you want the service to
run in run levels 3 and 5, and only run levels 3 and 5, that is a
different story.
