Madjosh and Tarrod basically named all the reasons for this, but below is the most important part pro kiting:

but the kiting brought a bit mixy tricksy thing into the mod. And I think that some different things how to play the mod would keep this great mod alive.

Somehow its a snipers job to hit and run, thats what they are made for, supposed to do. i dont think this mod should force ppl to stick to a certain gameplay (e.g: Cading) as this gets boring over time (reasons are all named by madjosh). although i can understand ppl reasons for everyone cading (loot sharing etc..), not everyone should have to stay in the cades, if they feel uncomfortable with staying there (e.g: Bots getting through and wiping the rest of the team). Furthermore its lowers the pressure on the shieldwall, and gives a higher chance of getting through the wave for everyone in the server.

But it's not like kiting and cading were the only 2 options available. Sometimes, whenever I feel like playing NI, but not like waiting for 15 mins to spawn, only to sit behind some shielders, I go on a cavalry server, and try and solo my way through there. I enjoy doing so, as it's a bit of practice for my horse riding in Warband, and I guess you feel the same about kiting as I do about cavalry, but there were some major advantages to kiting that shouldn't be there, in my opinion, the biggest one being drops. So I still support the devs' decision to get rid of kiting, but I'm saying it's not the only alternative to cading up.

Why would anyone kite, if there isn´t a chance of getting drops? You all know how damn expensive items are nowadays. For instance, I´m trying to craft the Imperial Armour Blue atm, I need 250 Lumps. How shall I get them if I´m only playing in a team, where the chance of getting the drop yourself is lowered? That´s why I support Nkas and Joshs posts; don´t remove kiting.

To be honest, I´m mostly kiting in this mod, together with Nka, and yet I´m not in a huge advantage regarding the drops. Ask Nka or other ppl kiting constantly, drops are still rare or at least the drops of high-valued materials.
