You don't have to "break" anything if the Nagios core is designed to deal with hosts that have an arbitrarily large number of interfaces.  Dual-stack environments are about to become the norm, not an edge case, and it would be wise for Nagios to be able to support that, properly detecting when a host is down based on all interfaces being unreachable.  Providing that support could also support those admins with hundreds or thousands of interfaces per host if designed properly.
