Supress 6.0 permission model to work like before Android M

Is there a way to supress the new Android M permissions model other than setting the target SDK to 22?

Word of explanation:

We have a quite complex app and upgrading to the new permission will take some considerable amount of time, which (as may be expected) we don't have.

Our project is setup to use the newest build tools which (as I belive) require the target SDK to be 23.

Why would you set your targetSdk and build tools to 23 if you aren't going to use any features of API level 23?

I would suggest just step down your targetSdk and build tools to 22 or whichever you were using earlier.

No.

No. The build tools do not care about the targetSdkVersion.
