This is good general advice, although not necessary for Fedora.

man init (which is the same page as for telinit) says:

       The  init binary checks if it is init or telinit by looking at its pro-
       cess id; the real init’s process id is always 1.  From this it follows
       that instead of calling telinit one can also just use init instead as a
       shortcut.

This may not be true for other *nixes.
