I'm not saying I'd end the ongoing continuity but I'd split it up. Keep the ongoing continuity for television with a reliance on sentai while using films to reboot things back to MMPR and go from there with 100% original footage.

EDIT- so pretty much what they're doing

Power Rangers biggest issue with continuity is that they haven't figured out what to do with it. They had a constant universe through Wild Force - we saw that with "Forever Red". Ninja Storm looked to be a franchise reboot until Dino Thunder with Tommy and the whole Ninja Storm team up. SPD gave us the "oh, it's in the future" bit and their Dino Thunder team up kind of cemented them in continuity.

After that it's up in the air. There's nothing (really) from Mystic Force through RPM that ties those series to continuity - especially with RPM.

Samurai brought it back with Bulk and Skull (and Spike, I guess), and Megaforce/Super Megaforce did so with the Legendary War though with zero explanation for a lot of it (although they kept the whole RPM in a separate universe thing that Samurai started intact).

Dino Charge will depend on whether or not they do the MMPR/Dino Thunder team up. if they do then yes I'd call it continuity. However, very loosely. You'd think a giant war (twice, In Space and Super Megaforce) would be referenced but it never is, ever.
