In practice the fallback might not be a so good idea, given aptitude only exits (or get killed) when it has uses all the memory, which might takes a few hours. We know that apt is fine when used in stable/testing/unstable, so let's keep it. We know that apt simply doesn't work for experimental, and that aptitude works only for simple cases. If we have a solution for experimental which works all (or most) of the times, we should use it by default, without fallback.
