Disable gateway completely, now we have snapshot/restore?

Hello together,

I'm looking into getting rid of the s3 gateway. I'm snapshotting to s3 and
use extensive replication (each shard replicated to 4 machines). I the
unlikely case that I loose a shard completely, then I can recover from
backup, and I even have to possibility to repopulate the data from scratch
to get data lost since last snapshot repopulated.

Why use a gateway at all then? How do I completely disable gateway?

Sincerely,
Mads Martin
