My personal opinion: "max" really means "all features". If we want an
automatic way to specify something you requested ("give me something
that's going to work") we either have to change the definition of the
max model for alla rchitectures or introduce something that really
matches the "no -cpu specified" - e.g., "best".
I don't strongly object to 'max' including deprecated features,
but I do definitely object to 'max' including by default any
experimental (x- prefix) features. Those should never be
enabled (whatever the '-cpu foo' name) unless the user has
specifically opted into them: that's the point of the x- prefix.
We need to be able to tell from the command line whether it's
got any non-standard weirdness enabled.
