I suspect it's another one of the many things we just try to stay within hailing distance of without trying to solve for 6.0.0. The worst that can happen is that someone later defines "use coolness" to turn their program into something that doesn't interoperate with standard Perl 6. Then we either bend Perl 6 to where it is interoperable, or someone rewrites all the libraries for coolness. Biologically, it comes down to more sex and a bigger gene pool, or less sex and more speciation and specialization. Sex is fun, but it probably doesn't solve all your problems.
