I think the original idea of grid frequency maintenance is when clocks were 
purely mechanical before the digital era.  They of course were just 
synchronous A.C. motors that were terribly inaccurate without the 
synchonization to the power grid's frequency.  This also was before GPS and 
sophisticated devices to reference to.  The only concern to electric 
utilities today is synchronizing the generators when bringing them online to 
avoid motoring...but that does not require any great frequency tolerance 
since it is all relative....
