The show is still bringing in reasonably big ratings, so, from a business point of view - the show isn't going to be cancelled or end. Marc Cherry is moving on and working on a different show and will be leaving after S7. From a creative point of view, Cherry will probably give Bob Daily his title of show-runner - so that will bring in a few fresh ideas (hopefully nothing as drastic as the five-year jump, I hope)

But, I see what you mean about the show being brought full-circle. They could kill off Susan in this season, but that doesn't mean the show won't carry on. Susan hasn't been given any good storylines since S4, IMO, so getting rid of her wouldn't be a bad idea.

We'll have to wait and see...
