The Linux kernel now makes use of self-patching in several places and several core features would no longer work without those. To make NSS possible, the NSS would need to have a copy-on-write semantics instead of being read-only. With global patching we would copy almost everything over time making the feature not useful. So the feature was not only removed in SLES but will go away in other future distros and it is no longer part of the upstream kernel.
