Well, obliterating the "Dead" completely would be too much of a "happy ending" would it not?
I suspect the victory for the living will be one which sees the remnants of the dead retreating to the frozen wastes beyond the wall, which will then have to be rebuilt before "the Dead" can amass enough strength to come South again.
