What distinction is supposed to exist here?

At http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SysVinit_to_Systemd_Cheatsheet
under "Runlevels/targets ", we see:

Sysvinit Runlevel    Systemd Target                Notes 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1, s, single      runlevel1.target, rescue.target  Single user mode. 

which is pretty bog-traditional, at least to my eye.

It's a good thing it's easy to alias commands, since:

$ systemctl list-units --type=target

isn't much of an improvement on:

$ who -r       # Good from solaris to ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, over several
               # decades.

$ runlevel
