Some are trying to come up with scenarios where Mayoi comes back or she actually isn't gone. Well you know what, Mayoi coming back would be the WORST thing possible. You don't make an emotional scene like what we got and then ruin it with some deux ex machina. She NEEDS to stay dead.
However I do think we can bring "Mayoi" back in a way. When Araragi decides to settle down with whichever girl he chooses in the end, I hope he'll have a daughter and name her Mayoi. She might even be her reincarnation.

As long as Nisio brought her back the right way it would be fine.
I have an annoyance with the thought of a revival making death cheap in fiction. If it is done right and NOT often, it is just fine. It doesn't take away from the lessons Araragi needed to learn and the pain we had losing her. We now know what he means to her, and what she means to him. So thematically, if he has a plan for Mayoi, I say we see what he can do rather than dread the possibility.
Basically if she stays dead, cool. If she doesn't, I'll wait to see how that happens before calling it cheap.
