Call me crazy, but I do not think Moffat is trying to purposely undo anything. It looks as though he is just stating that he is not going to be a slave to Davies' continuity. I think he just gave himself and the writers license to ignore what Davies did and move the series in their own direction, unhampered. If you like what Davies did, I can understand why this would upset you. If you do not like what Davies did, then this can be a good thing. It's not that specific events did or did not happen, they just gave themselves some freedom. All writers take liberty with the DR WHO Continuity. Moffat is simply the first to admit such. Just my two cents. --[http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/User:Whoisdrwho | Who is Dr. Who?] 16:09, March 24, 2011 (UTC) | Call me crazy, but I do not think Moffat is trying to purposely undo anything.

The way I look at is much the same way I looked at the Time War: a chance for the writers to not have to be chained to the decades of continuity that came before. That doesn't mean they can't build on it, but it frees them from a) having to research niggling details to prep a story, and b) not having to burden a script with exposition about what came before.
