That's better from your point of view.  Some users do not want to use the 
"basic" completion backend before the "flex" completion backend, they want 
to use "flex" and, only when "flex" fails, "basic".

This has already been done, as Manuel suggested the solution would be to 
add a fallback in icomplete--fido-mode-setup, which amounts to doing (set 
completion-styles '(flex basic)).
