The issue is pretty straightforward and has already arisen in Europe.
With the rise of microgeneration, (windmills,PV electricity and other
forms of micro-generation), it becomes increasingly difficult to
maintain tight conrol of frequency. Winmills are a special problem in
this respect.
So, they intend not to guarantee frequecy and "catchup" if it does
fall behind.

In days of yore many electric clocks depended on mains frequency to be
correct, this is no longer true many are crystal controlled/battery/
remote sensor so accurate frequency is not the same issue as it was
back then.
