If you implement YANG as it is defined, pattern are portable. Given
this, I do not understand the notion of 'more portable'.

Anyway, it seems that those who want a more portable subset do not
even agree on what that subset is. Perhaps people pushing for this
should go and write an I-D that explains why a 'more portable' subset
is needed (which problems are we fixing), that defines such a 'more
portable subset', and which includes the reasoning how the subset has
been determined.
