STS-135 would be a four person crew: Ferguson, Hurley, Magnus, and
Walheim. It will take over a year to get everyone home on Soyuz.

A four-person crew is unnecessarily large for carrying supplies to the
ISS on a added flight; with the existing ISS crew of six, and only two
crew necessary to fly the Shuttle, that still gives you eight people
total to offload the cargo from it in a presumed added flight.
