Not quite sure what you mean, lucene needs some way to load a codec, and give parts of an index written with different codecs it would need tonload and select the right code at the right time.
Consider, for example the upgrade path. Let's say you have segments written with code 5.x and we in place upgrade to 6.x, lucene is going to need to know how to load up the codec for 5.x and 6.x.
