Kolibri's `stability fee` (the rate charged to borrowers) is currently 22%. While this has helped keep peg stable, the high rate may be hindering the growth and adoption of Kolibri.

In the early days of `kUSD` there was nothing to do with the asset besides sell it for `XTZ`. This effectively meant `kUSD` minters could take long positions on the price of `XTZ`. The other use case available to minters were peer to peer transactions of `kUSD` and holding `kUSD` to liquidate ovens. Demand for long positions greatly outstripped other use cases, and [KIP006](https://forum.tezosagora.org/t/kolibri-governance-proposal-6-continuous-increase-of-the-stability-fee-to-reach-peg/2851) continuously raised the stability fee until peg was achieved.

I'm not sure I'd refer to that former gov proposal as KIP006, that's pretty confusing IMO.

Renamed to "our initial fee raising proposal" but I don't love it. Happy to take a name suggestion.
