Note that experimental has a (hardcoded) lower default priority than sid.
See the manpage of apt_preferences. So, this would not happen. Which IMHO
was the only argument *against* experimental. 

I wasn't able to find where experimental is "documented" on www.debian.org,
so it's no wonder people don't know how it works.
