The page goes on to say:
"One reason for PKI's slow uptake has been the lack of two kinds of
portability. It hasn't been easy to move cryptographic keys from one
machine to another, or to use credentials issued by one institution at
another. But as we learned at the summit, there's been progress on both
fronts."
If I remember correctly, portability is not necessarily a thing to
strive for here, because it means that not only your certificates will
be transported from A to B, but also the corresponding private
information will have a tendency to leak all over the place.
Regardless of whether its a good idea, saying it is a problem seems to
me to be complete bollocks. Moving keys around is generally easy.
