I say do a great new album now, then do another new one in 2016/2017 in honor of their 50th anniversary, with anyone who has ever been in FM guesting on various tracks!
THEN they can "wrap it up!"

Who knows, maybe they will have such a good time recording these purported 2-4 new songs, that it will spin into a new album.

putting out new material makes it clear that artist / band still have something to say and are relevant; touring makes money. i don't know that anybody makes money of releases anymore, so not sure why would that need to be the goal of a new release (if that's what they expect, i'd have to say either the whole band, band members holding out, or the band management is stuck in the past).

This. Fleetwood Mac has been an oldies touring act for so long... I can't stomach any more of that. Stevie & Lindsey are recording the best material of their lives in their solo projects... I just know there's still chemistry in between them, and that with Mick & John, there is still great Mac music to be had. I just wish they'd all give it a chance & go into it with a clean slate.
