I everybody,
I rooted my device with the last pingpong root and I can confirm that it is not tripping knox.
In order to install an OTA update then I did a restore of the device with a fresh install of the stock Rom with the Samsung Smartswitch software (windows or Mac). Then I rerooted and I confirm my knox status is still 0x0.
If you don't modify the recovery or the kernel, there is no reason to break you warranty and modifiy the knox status.
