A wider filter with steep skirts tends to cost more.
Constraints on noise figure, dynamic range, group delay. and flatness add more cost
and power consumption.

Exactly. The narrower the filter, the more it will cost. In general.

Sticking with the intent to keep this non-political, what good is a filter
if the offending signal is within the necessary passband?

If LightSquared deploys their high powered LTE network in the satellite
band
the GPS world will become very interesting indeed.  Are LightSquared
willing
to spend $20,000 to upgrade the GPS on my Skylane to a new model which
does not yet exist?

With that many transmitters we may experience areas where RF from multiple
high power transmitters creates hot spots.  In some places pieces of metal
with non Ohmic bonds will create mixing products, some of which may fall
directly within GPS bands.  These effects have not been simulated.

Who knows who the FCC is listening to - the GPS industry including
millions
of current users, or those who appear to have bought under the table
favor.
This could make Solyndra look like small change.  Film at 11.

To filter out the L2 signal, would an actual GPS receiver have to be
replaced / modified?

Or would a more simple and cheaper alternative be to get a new
antenna (with fancy filtering) to replace my existing roof-top
antenna and expect all my old equipment to be happy?
I think that a new antenna/filter/amplifier unit would be ok. But the
problem is the installed base of receivers, including all those costly
units used for geodesy or navigation, that have embedded antennas.
Those will be hard to modify.
