No, and that's why there are the defaults there for those.

Sometimes I use settings like:
---
Host *
        ForwardAgent no
        ForwardX11 yes
        FallBackToRsh no
        Protocol 2,1
        Cipher blowfish
        Ciphers arcfour,blowfish-cbc
---
[ good for heavy traffic because arcfour is the fastest algorithm ]

*Authentication, Cipher*, Protocol etc. options are ones you usually want
to change.  Having them as defaults has it's good and bad points,
obviously.

Committing to this would get you yet another place to keep track of
these...
