This is a systemd convention -- it's actually this way in F21 too.
In short, Alt-Ctrl-F6 is the new Alt-Ctrl-F2. :)

   Two VTs are handled specially by the auto-spawning logic: firstly
   tty1 gets special treatment: if we boot into graphical mode the
   display manager takes possession of this VT. If we boot into
   multi-user (text) mode a getty is started on it -- unconditionally,
   without any on-demand logic[2].

   Secondly, tty6 is especially reserved for auto-spawned gettys and
   unavailable to other subsystems such as X[3]. This is done in order to
   ensure that there's always a way to get a text login, even if due to
   fast user switching X took possession of more than 5 VTs.
