I hate that this is the last planned Hubble mission, but realistically it has done a great job and is nearing the end of its operational life. I'm not sure what the limiting factor is, but some things simply can't be replaced or repaired in space. If nothing else, atomic oxygen in low Earth orbit is degrading the coatings on the primary and secondary mirrors.
