Default Knots being phased out?

Since the nautical mile is defined as one minute of latitude, I doubt it
will ever disappear in earth based navigation.

This sounds exceedingly unlikely. It isn't just boating but the entire
aviation world that would have to convert if the nautical mile was
abandoned.
