My thoughts: Never! Never include an epilogue to something like this. I think is was a mistake for Harry Potter, and I think it is a mistake for Naruto. My reasons are:

1. Half of the fan-base will use head-canon to disregard it.

2. It prevents all sorts of future stories from being told or if told posing any real threat to the main characters.

3. It causes poorly thought out parings and child names to become canon. (J. K. Rowling has stated she regrets not pairing Harry and Hermione).

4. It is very confusing to read and interpret. (How many new characters were introduced? Was it Lee's son?)

5. It introduces more problems then it fixes.
