That is what some people want to do and it makes a lot of sense to do that if you don't want to use nickel.
That is main reason why I don't use NM.

I don't have any use for nickel, don't like it, don't want to see it if I don't have to (and with KSM I don't have to).

Everything works fine with KSM on my devices which I don't update because updates basically update nickel, rarely anything that would be useful to me.

There's also some other things that KSM can do (and does) for me that I use and all in all, I'm very happy with KSM.

When I'd get new devices that would have too new firmwares to use KSM, then I'll use NM and I'm very happy and extremely grateful to NM's developers for their work and effort, really, I really appreciate what they do, but I still at the moment on my current devices prefer KSM. And KSM works for me.

I also hope that in some future moment tshering will continue to develop KSM, but, well, I understand him as well.

On the other hand, I can't understand how someone so much insist that something is "dead" and keeps harping that ad nauseum.
