Interesting. I just assumed it was like laalos la'aretz -- an aliyah in
the qedushah dimension, not vertical.

In any case, lulav, shofar and megillah are all mitzvos asei. Eating
outside of the sukkah is a lav. (And, on the first night ALSO an asei.)
I would think that's a sufficient chiluq to answer the original question.

It's one thing for chazal to tell us to ignore an asei to protect a lav.
But do we find cases where they rank lavin to the extent where they
would tell us to defy one in order to protect a more chamur one?

Tir'u baTov!
