If you can find it, the manpage for the sysvinit-version of the init command
had good explanations for this. If not, here is what I remember from when I
mucked about with it a few years ago.

There is nothing in sysvinit inherently preventing use of runlevels up to
9. The init 6 = reboot convention is just that: a convention, probably from
the Unix days (those older and more experienced than I: feel free to correct
me if this is wrong). However, the initscript rat's nest makes this
convention difficult to change without digging into /etc/rc[0-6].d/,
/etc/inittab and the initscript files included in any daemon package. As
such, altering it might be an interesting learning experience but is
probably dangerous on a box used for anything other than tinkering.

Another detail that stuck out for me is that sysvinit also has runlevels A,
B and C. These are "overlays" (so to speak) in that starting one of them
doesn't end the daemons from the previous runlevel. My recollections here
are a bit hazy and possibly not entirely reliable, since this behaviour
might instead simply be due to the absence of /etc/rc[A-C].d/ directories.

Hope this helps,

P.S. turns out the sysvinit (8)init manpage is still available at debian.org:
