That's not what the x- prefix is supposed to mean.
If we have an internal constraint that we mustn't delete
the option in order to support some other must-be-stable
interface (eg migration of some machines) we can document
that in a comment, but that doesn't mean that we should
document to users that direct use of an x-prefix option
is supported as a stable interface.

Alternatively, if the option is really stable for direct
use by users then we should commit to making it so by
removing the x-.
