Right behind you!
I've been waiting since the 4.3 upgrade. Any news?

If it can be put together, it can be taken apart.
Of course knox apps can be removed. Just look at development section of the ND8 ROMs like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2750674

If you are thinking about the problems with the bootloader...that is a different story. If you update your bootloader and modem you cannot change them to an older bootloader and modem.

Is there a newer boot loader that isn't a Knox boot loader that could replace Knox? I want to be able to use custom roms but Knox is blocking any installation and I don't want to risk bricking. I understand i can install custom firmware if I don't include the boot loader but I don't want to have to worry about all that and just get rid of Knox. Any ideas?

I was speaking more about installing zips through custom recovery

Yep. I've had Knox since I got this phone and have literally flashed thousands of things. The only thing it prevents you from doing is downgrading your firmware through Odin.... And when I say prevent, I mean it bricks your phone.
