I think that may be reasonable.  What bothers me is that the default
pg_hba.conf will fail to accept localhost connections on such a system.
OTOH older systems will complain if pg_hba.conf contains IPv6 entries.

We may not have much choice but to find a way to configure pg_hba.conf's
localhost entries at initdb time ...
