Would be neat :)

I guess the suggestion was to set that up per default. Currently, all
(most?) packages configure all runlevels the same, afaik. (I wonder
why so many suggested using runlevel 2 for it?! Runlevel 2 is the
default on Debian, and all DMs do run there.)

It would be nice for occasional no-X booting, e.g. for debugging. But
then there's still single user mode for that, so "wasting" a whole
runlevel for it doesn't seem so useful. The "nox" boot parameter seems
much less intrusive.
Who's going to file the wishlist bugs?
