Doubtful. Looking at a bunch of recent Fedora package builds
$ fgrep -l Wextra fedora/pass78/201512*/* | wc -l
35
$ fgrep -l Wall fedora/pass78/201512*/* | wc -l
589
On an earlier and bigger set of builds:
$ fgrep -l Wextra fedora/pass77/2015*/* | wc -l
523
$ fgrep -l Wall fedora/pass77/2015*/* | wc -l
5983
$
So about 6% in the first case and 9% in the second case.
Even allowing for the -W to -Wextra change, neither of these numbers look
to me like "almost always".
It looks to me like lots of folks use -Wall, but few folks use -Wextra.
