We still have 2+ years ahead with 25BTC blocks. I think the fee discussion is fine as a general Bitcoin challenge, but not a current problem for ASICMiner.

3+ (3.11) years ahead:)

Yeah, I meant that under 2 years we will have to factor it in because a 2 year ROI in BTC mining is about right.

Obviously, 3.11 is still 2+ Tongue

But the fees are what many people are holding onto as where the income will come from when mining and hardware keeps falling.

Would you pay the same for Apple if you knew they had to cut their prices in half every 5 years?

That's the point. If you are closer than ROI to the halving then yes, you need to factor that in. But if you're still pretty far away there is not much point, provided how quickly things develop in Bitcoin world. In 1 year or 2 we will have to start looking at fees and how are they developing.
