Runlevels are a Linux kernel thing, so they are present in all Linux distributions whether they like it or not. You can not add or remove runlevels unless you change the kernel code and recompile a new kernel.
Are you sure? Handling of runlevels is supposed to be handled by init [with configfile /etc/inittab] and symbolic links residing in rcX.d directories for individual runlevel. Switching to runlevel X kills services absent in that runlevel and then starts up services not already running, for the same runlevel. But that runlevel is a kernel thing, is wholly new to me! May be I can use some enlightenment on this.
