Thank you.

Well, the RFC is immutable, so the act of making a copy cannot by itself be fragile.

What got us to now propose blunting that grammar is the strong impression that there may be less consensus about the grammar defined by RFC 5646 than we thought.  So it seems the grammar in RFC 5646 is fragile, not the act of copying it out...

https://github.com/core-wg/core-problem-details/pull/40/commits/bbe72e2

(I’m making a point about copying here as I believe copying out snippets of CDDL from RFCs and other specifications will be a significant part of CDDL 2.0.)
