I am not sure 0-fee would achieve much as intended in this case. Kano pool is already with the lowest fee among the pools that are well known and established within the community. Eliminating that extra 0.9%, sure, can translate into an additional gain of 0.9% for miner rewards, but can anybody really tell the difference by looking? Whilst on the flip side, eliminating this income source to Kano brings me the concern of demotivating developer for better services.
IMHO, fee is not the issue.

One thing I don't understand about Slush's pool is I keep seeing references to him long since abandoning support for it. If that's true, is it just running on auto pilot and everything "just works"? If so, why are so many people there? It just doesn't make sense to me.
I can sort of understand how people end up at Antpool, as new folks just stick with the default and don't know any better.
But Slush, that I just don't get.
