my belief is that the stargazer talking about "the shepard" was a scene way off in the future after the events happened. The mass relays were Reaper tech and were created so that organic life would evolve along the paths that the Reapers/child in citadel desire. So with bio/synthetic union I imagine they would have to be destroyed in order to create something entirely new as was the idea behind merging the DNA. If organic life achieved its' final level of trancendence being on par with the Reapers/child in citadel then the new life wouldn't need Mass relays created for it, the way I understand it the future after the ending would have life capable of creating them for themselves as they would already have the knowledge intact from bio/synthetic union. I totally agree with your "That's it?" assessment, it would have been nice to know what happened to organic/synthetic life that didn't get outside the crucible signal like the Normandy did. Or what happened to Shepard, is he really dead? I only have a few hundred hours dedicated in this series like many others, I think we have a right to further clarification.
