They may be in no rush, but the real question is the network.. willing. I think since Once is still doing strong (arguably weak, but in comparison to others, strong) they can go on for a long time, but the question is asked "How long can the storyline go on without stretching itself thin?"

3a presented a good finale, breaking/reversing the curse, Rumple redemptive sacrifice,. Regina's sacrifice and Emma with Henry....then they continued it and on and on. Now with the Author (which seems like a major plot) over, then what's next after Darkness. They pulled out all the major themes and what more can they do. Hope, Belief, Love, Acceptance, Redemption, Fear, Anger, Selfishness, Jealousy, Ambition, an tons of Pain.
