Well, it's not like you haven't seen bloggers talking through their hats before, right? The amount of cargo cult nonsense in Android "news" kills me. SafetyNet is completely fine with a nightly of CM13 (on Samsung Galaxy S5) after the su binary and it's accompanying symlink are renamed to get them out of sight (and effectively disabled). You don't have to touch the settings in developer options at all because SafetyNet isn't going on some extended search to look for the setting. It's just looking for the presence of an su binary in the filesystem in a few places during that phase of its checks.
