Does this patcher replace the need for things like SPID and KID?

I understand that a lot of mods require SPID in order to be used. But what sort of benefit or disadvantage would we receive by using this patcher?

I know this is late, but SPID is more for distributing items in the game, or variations of items, like if you have a creature mod that uses different textures for the same animal, SPID will make the game randomly use all the different textures. This patcher sounds more like it's meant to distribute keywords, i.e., tags relating to items which, if I'm not mistaken, is not the same thing.
