If its a desktop host not really much and the times when you want to
prohibit an X bootup are mostly cases where you want to debug something
or want something else to change. For these cases I feel it is enough if
you append a 3 to the kernel line from the grub boot screen.

Of course if you want to boot up into runlevel 3 always, then changing
the inittab entry is the correct way. You are right. I just didn't
understand the OP in this way. Maybe because I see Fedora as a desktop
system and when someone wants to run a CLI system why then did he
install an X server?

As always: multiple possible routes and different opinions :)
