You guys have been asking about the inability to cast blinds/roots/calms while under NS1 - Blinds and calms are debuffs and, at that point, are 'hostile actions'; blinds do -AAO while calms do -inits (in pvp), so both are more offensive than defensive. The fact that blinds and calms cannot be cast while under NS1 is intended.
Roots, however, are a purely defensive action - They do not debuff anything other than the target's ability to move, and are rather critical to the 'escaping' portion of what NS1 should allow. With that in mind, NT root nanos now require TS/PM instead of MC/TS, which will allow them to be castable while under NS1. =)
