Because that's what people are testing for in scripts.
It should also print the correct _previous_ runlevel.
I note that the man page for Fedora 13's runlevel command (and RHEL 5's, for
that matter) claims that init will set the environment variables RUNLEVEL
and PREVLEVEL, but that doesn't seem to actually happen.
The systemd man page for runlevel doesn't say that init will set those, but
says that if they *are* set, that's where it will get its information.
Yepp, that's for compatibility with Upstart.

Since it already is documented as doing the similar actions, let's remove
"optionally" from this statement.
Well, Upstart doesn't support reexec. We support it just fine, but
if we wouldn't this should not count as regression.
I would like to see tab-completion for systemctl working before the
final
release. That's a request, though, not a demand.
Happy to take patches!
