Not currently, but before we go any further, could you please justify in what workflow it would make sense to use -x most of the time?

We used to add the "cherry-picked from" by default in the very early days, and stopped doing so for a reason, and also deliberately stayed away from adding such a configuration to actively discourage the use of -x without making the user thinking twice.
