I have yet to find a reliable source for this, but something I have heard in 
the past is
that since the different constellations' satellites may be controlled and 
disciplined 
differently (and to different standards), it is not wise to use more than one 
constellation
on receiver that is used to discipline a time server. 

Like I said though, I have not found a reliable source for this, and I haven't 
even been
able to confirm it in my own testing. I would love to know more on the subject.

Regards,
John Miller
