> Nobody cares about WiFi spectrum. It's a junkyard in any case.
you are missing the point, if you change the list of frequencies that the kernel will use, you are no longer operating in the WiFi spectrum for that country, so this is the exact same situation.

Nope, I'm not missing it. The whole area around the WiFi spectrum is one big junkyard (that's why WiFi uses it), a couple extra channels don't matter that much.
GSM spectrum has to be carefully guarded. It's quite easy to make it unusable by having a lot relatively high-powered (2 watt) cell phone radios interfering with each other.
