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)
