Agreed.  Fortunately, it appears that boot(7) is the only page in the
Linux man-pages project that needs revision; no other document uses the
term in the forms I checked for.

$ git grep 'run level' || echo no matches
no matches
$ git grep 'runlevel' || echo no matches
man7/boot.7:.BR runlevel (8).
man7/boot.7:runlevel 2.
man7/boot.7:.BR runlevel (8),
$ git grep 'run.level' || echo no matches
man7/boot.7:program is instructed to enter a particular \fIrun-level\fR, giving
man7/boot.7:for some usage; each run-level is associated with a set of services
man7/boot.7:(for example, run-level \fBS\fR is \fIsingle-user\fR mode,
man7/boot.7:and run-level \fB2\fR entails running most network services).
man7/boot.7:run-level via
man7/boot.7:and query the current run-level via
man7/boot.7:To make specific scripts start/stop at specific run-levels and in a
man7/boot.7:To define the starting or stopping order within the same run-level,
man7/boot.7:To manage these links is to manage the boot order and run-levels;

The cross reference to the systemd "runlevel" man page of course should
be kept as-is.

Regards,
Branden
