I don' think it's a surprise at all - considering they never intended to make an eternally long TV series. This is good news. 
It's a comfort that Disney's not going to keep up The Clone Wars - keeping it alive as some zombie show. 
People are just trying to sensationalize the news that Season 5 was the last complete season. 
There are still a bunch of episodes to show. They're just not going to broadcast them on Cartoon Network.
