I mean conceptually, it makes sense. I'm certain the 3 veteran characters will be phased out by the end of S7 and then you can have multiple seasons with a new group of characters continuously going on various missions, like seasons 2-6. Same format, same universe. Their excuse for not calling it an actual spinoff could be that Henry Mills is in all of the seasons and it'd still be his family's story.

But I think it's a tad bit unrealistic to believe the show could actually continue for "multiple years." That would probably involve outside sources funding it thmeselves.
