I think Starlight being written out of the show at this point would be like taking Twilight's wings from her in the season four premiere - in other words, it would be far more damaging than the alternative (because it would show they aren't willing to stick to their guns, and to me at least, that's a sign of a production in trouble).

And besides, I think the showrunners have more than earned our faith in them doing things the right way, in either not recycling or recycling only small parts (while injecting fresh life into the plots) - or at least, that's the way I feel.
