The system modifications alone may be enough to prevent the update from installing. You might still receive the notification to update, and it likely won't go away, but won't be able to update since the device is rooted and modified.

I'd suggest waiting to see how the update rolls out and if your device picks up the notification. If it does, dismiss the notification and stick to your current setup.

And it won't keep nagging? I'm in the same boat as the OP with a rooted 2013 Nexus 7 and I don't want any OTA update (or notification about OTA update) causing me any hassle. I'm more interested in my root and selected tweaks via Xposed framework than I am in Lollipop for now.

There's no reliable way to just turn it off (freeze a relevant app, rename a relevant file, disable an autorunning script, etc.?) We just need to wait and let it download and potentially/hopefully fail on installation?
