Indeed, it makes sense. We could then have:

  git push                 <= push the current branch on default remote
                              (which is, at least in my case, the most
                               frequent use I want to make of "git push",
                               on all the projects [work or volunteer]
                               I work on)
  git push remote          <= push all matching refs on named remote
  git push --all [remote]  <= push and create all refs on remote (or default)
