Interesting, thanks for testing. I'm not sure if this is the right place for discussing this, or
whether we should take this to the downstream thread (link in cover letter or in [2]).

I have duplicates for RTS{1..3} as well, so you're not alone there, for me it's also sensor 1 and 9
forming a duplicated name pair [1], this makes me wonder if the names are always of the form
`I_RTS#` where # is (id % 8 + 1), if that is the case for all surface models the names may not be
that much of a value add?

The surface diagnostics tool actually doesn't request these names: it has hardcoded names for just
three sensor ids that are part of the diagnostics [2], but I don't know if those three id's are
stable across the various devices though.
