Perhaps but is there more disruption planned in 15 years time? Well yes, probably, but this extension is very far from being a done deal - it is just a consultation about something that won't happen for a generation.

Transport for London commissioner Sir Peter Hendy has said that a southern extension of the Bakerloo line could be completed within the next 15 years - a decade earlier than City Hall predicated last summer.
Hendy told a TfL board meeting: "Work is under way to update key elements of the costs, refresh the business case, and investigate a number of alternative route options suggested via the consultation. Subject to feasibility, funding and powers, an extension could be delivered by 2030."

I just started having a look through the responses summary (about 380 pages!). And I couldn't help but notice that the consultation received submissions from.....
* Dozens of businesses
* Resident groups
* Forest Hill Society Transport Committee
* Kings College Hospital
* Charities
* Faith groups
* Six London boroughs (Bexley, Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark)
* Various Assembly councillors
* and the MPs for Bermondsey and Old Southwark (Simon Hughes), Bromley and Chislehurst (Robert Neill), Dulwich and West Norwood (Tessa Jowell), Streatham (Chuka Umunna), Lewisham East (Heidi Alexander), and Camberwell and Peckham (Harriet Harman)
No sign of the MP for Lewisham West and Penge (Jim Dowd), however.

Because Bromley Council do not want the Bakerloo extension Croydon Council are trying to get it to go to Croydon.

The Bakerloo Line Options Assessment Report is now available here- https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/tube/ba..._final.pdf
Preferred option is to focus on a route to Lewisham via OKR with the current option terminating at Lewisham but with the potential for future extensions in later phases.
FH was considered as part of a route via Crystal Palace - see page 49.

I'm again going to say it should be renamed the 'BakerLew' line - 
- and I'm going to keep on saying it until someone other than me laughs at the joke.....

Ha ha ha, yes. That is funny because the original "loo" in Bakerloo Line came from the original termination of the line at Waterloo, but "BakerLew" references the new termination point, which is Lewisham, and provides a Line name that sounds identical, but is spelt differently.
Hope that helps.
