I would worry that a bug in the "real" GC might not occur in the portable one, for instance if writing to %APPDATA% or accessing the Windows System Registry is concerned. And it could go the other way too: the process of portabilizing might create a bug that was not in "real" GC, wasting debugging time. I don't know enough about the code base to know that these things _will_ happen, but unless we're really certain they cannot I'd prefer to see extra volunteer testing on "real" GC.
