Actually, it looks like on Rawhide this is actually expected since systemd 258 which just landed in F43 and Rawhide according to the changelog at https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v258:

    * Support for System V style system state control has been removed:
      - The /dev/initctl device node has been removed.
      - The initctl, runlevel, and telinit commands have been removed.
      - Support for system state control via the init command (e.g.
        'init 3') has been removed.
      - The units runlevel[0-6].target have been removed.
      - The concept of runlevels has been removed, so runlevel transitions
        are no longer recorded in the utmp/wtmp databases.

So only F42 is actually affected.  Given the fact that nobody has complied so far, I'm going to close this as WON'T DO.
