Your guys' points make sense, but I always saw 'The Arbiter' as a mantle you wore till death. Thel would indeed have restored it to its former glory with the events of Halo 3 and then would have continued using it as symbol and rallying cry for Sangheilli honor, now free from the Prophet's influence.
But even is he has left the title and role, the Arbiter armor was one of my favorite designs of all of Bungie's, so I'm still very sad it's being left behind.
The armor's introduction had been a defining moment for Thel, it represented the forging of his character. Without it, he doesn't feel like the same Thel to me.
