The actual members just sorta go with the flow of whatever, including Stevie (whom also, by the way, is definitely not known for her online social skills of which is helping keep the Mac relevant for the past decade). If anything, the Mac's relevance from The Dance to now is due to the parties that made The Dance happen, Lindsey's desire to make another Mac record, their desire to make $$$ by touring the same tired set and Christine's return. If she hadn't, I'm almost positive this band would've fizzled out in another decade by doing 2 or 3 'farewell tours' using the exact same set.

Any fan that actually desires Stevie abandon the band's plan for solo opportunities is, in my opinion, being a little selfish. It took major brass balls for Christine to rejoin her bandmates and because of it they are getting what has to be the most press and buzz since post-The Dance and pre-Say You Will. True, they have precious time left but Stevie (out of the individual members) has made it solo, she's left her mark on the industry as a single, solo act where the others really haven't hit that height. So I say why not make one big, final album and then go back to your 3-month demo ventures and churn them out like hot cakes and do small theater shows until you're bound to a wheelchair or bed. We all know she would (and rightly should). But Christine's return is too big an opportunity to miss and we all know who'll get the stink of it if it doesn't happen, the same way Lindsey got stink for years for leaving the band after Tango. Stevie surely doesn't want that and I don't think her ego (or any of the bands ego's for that matter) could handle it.
Ummm Stevie got them on Glee and herself on American Horror Story. If you don't know that by now then you haven't been paying much attention. She has not "went with the flow" as u put it like other band members. She has written notes to stars, cajoled, slipped comments and kissed major booty(especially to get on Glee and maintaining that relationship got her on American Horror Story)
She is smart and doesn't live in the clouds like Lindsey. She knows what it takes. Having other stars sing their and her praises has helped them stay relevant.
