I don't really think this will be permanent. Obviously like many have said this was intended to be a possible series finale as no one really knew how the show would go on after the 2 and a half seasons it was originally signed for ended. Obviously it got a lot more attention and popularity than it was ever thought to have made but now the questions is how will they play it out? I really hope they keep it on the down low and don't overemphasize the fact that she is now a alicorn princess. I mean i'm not a big fan of alicorn twilight but i also don't hate the writers or anyone else for it. I'm hoping they make it amazing if they go on with it like they usually do or they end it with her sacrificing herself to save her friends (which would be a good moral). Honestly I can see this show going on until season 8 or 9 if the writers play their cards right and keep the story going. What would be ideal for me would be something with discord becoming angry with celestia for keeping his magic usage down and for good and after a while and bringing back starswirl the bearded and after hearing about twilight completed his masterpiece and becoming a princess for it becomes angry and uses his magic to wreak havoc on ponyville or canterlot. Twilight must save everyone once again and in the end does a selfless action which makes her a regular unicorn again but does something that sends starswirl the bearded back to where he came from. I'm thinking the mane 6 harness the elements of harmony but in order to do so she must give up her alicornship in order to harness her element. (because remember when celestia sent luna to the moon she could no longer harness the elements.) I don't know it probably sounds really stupid and far fetched but thats my two cents.
