I have advocated for receivers able to handle multiple frequencies and
multiple GNSS for some time, sneaking it into documents, so there should
be some preparations for this now.

The benefit is naturally redundancy, but also higher precision.

Natural I would enjoy cheap multi-frequency receivers myself, but I
would never admit that this would be a reason for advocating it. ;-)
