Trust me, its possible. I have a private set of meta packages (common
for Squeeze, Wheezy Jessie and Stretch) to keep the hosts in sync.

Of course resolving package conflicts might be difficult and require
manual interaction restricted to a few hosts only, esp. for Unstable.
cssh does support this approach. Point is, using the new aptitude on
Stretch will make this go wrong every time. I would like to avoid this.

I am not sure if I got this correctly.

This is not about "unstable" or "development systems only", but about
a new aptitude that might be included with Stretch on release date.
Of course Stretch is very volatile today, but this will go away.
