While I was in Yeshivas Ner Israel it was explained to me that the Avos
did not LITERALLY keep Taryag, but they DID keep the principles BEHIND the
Taryag.

This is congruent with the notion that the mitzvos as WE know them are not
THE intrinsic Torah and  could be suspended in Yemos Hamashiach.

But behind the revelaed "nigleh"  Torah there IS an intrinsic "nistar" Torah
that IS immutable
