As a fan, I hope he finishes it. I worry that he's got too many little plot threads here and there for him to actually be able to do so. I know he's submitted 'the end' to the producers of the show. That doesn't mean that they're going to get from point A to point Z via the same route. I believe the really important plot points of who lives and dies will be the same between the book and the show. I think there will be details here and there which might vary, and those details might be what's delaying the series.
I respect 'it'll be ready when it's ready' and being tired of fans nagging for the next book. I can even respect if he's just tired of writing this particular series in the world. I'll still be (quietly) disappointed if the series is never finished.
