Having worked with IPv6 a little lately I'd strongly encourage a common indexing system.  That way future tools built will "just work" for both.  If we have two different indexing systems/infrastructures then we're making the transition to Perl6 harder than it should be and eventually making Perl5 lose out on "new stuff".
