Um, who says 6 doesn't have runlevels?  I haven't personally looked at
C6, but upstream EL6 -does- have runlevels just as previous versions:

#   0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#   1 - Single user mode
#   2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have
networking)
#   3 - Full multiuser mode
#   4 - unused
#   5 - X11
#   6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
