Separate deamon array for each runlevel

Hi all.

I've recently migrated to Ubuntu being bet by bluetooth hid issue. It is very good and solid distro, however, I'm not completely satisfied with it, because Arch is far better in many things that are essential to me.
But what seemed interesting to me, is an ability to start daemons on some runlevels and do not start them on the others.

So, I'm just curiuos, why Arch doesn't provide a similar functionality?
Was it a technical, ideological or usability decision?

Thanks,
Dmytro

We're using a different init framework.

You can use systemd/similar if you want more flexibility than what the arch init scripts supplies.

Thanks for your replies.
I've already read some stuff on this (suggested by Karol and some others related).
