Sure. But we can also look at what kinds of frames we actually receive
during a sample window.

What I'd also like to do is finally add receive power histogram
support. Ie, look at the RSSI of all the frames you receive, stick
them in buckets, respond to the power histogram action request frames,
use them for this.. that doesn't require any driver support. Just
net80211 work in the RX path.
