There was no direct mention about the future of Foster's in the article but I did find this piece of news to be rather interesting.

The network also announced the creation of the Cartoonstitute, an in-house think tank and development studio that will endeavor to create up to 150 pieces of programming over the next 20 months. The Cartoonstitute will be led by Craig McCracken of The Powerpuff Girls and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends and Rob Renzetti of Dexter’s Laboratory. The goal is to create programming that can get the fast track to series or film.

This can mean a lot of things as pertaining to the future of our favorite show,
Example: Now that Craig is involved in this wonderful new endeavor, he may either give up the head show runner position and let someone else handle the reigns creatively, try to handle both ends of the creative spectrum (Producing and directing) himself. Or worse case scenario, he quits while he is ahead and shuts down production of Foster's, to make time for this.
(Note the above was pure and total speculation and should not be taken as fact as those are just possibilities and nothing more.)
I think this is very cool idea, as there a lot of great artists and writers out there who may just have the next, Foster's, Dexter's Lab Powerpuff Girls in their heads, and this will be a great way to have those ideas come to light.
