Looking at the last three seasons, where something introduced in the previous season's finale played a large role in the next season's story arc, 4 had Twilight's princess troubles, 5 had Twilight's castle (the map is part of the castle), and 6 had Starlight as Twilight's student. This shows that the storylines of the seasons are connected in some way. If season 7 followed that example, then the reformed Changelings, under Thorax's rule, would likely be a major focus of the season's story arc. They might need to appear again as part of the story of season 7, otherwise there would potentially be an issue where the majority of the changelings being reformed and "evolved" had no purpose whatsoever to the story itself. That does not, of course mean that Chrysalis will return for revenge yet, but it does mean that the newly reformed changelings have a large probability of returning multiple times in season 7 as part of the story arc.
