I suspect bi-generation is a ploy to make this Doctor, and all he does, reversible. I understand if RTD didn't want to carry all the dense guilt and lone wolf weight of Moffitt's Doctor into his version, but just dumping it onto poor Tennant and carrying on with a properly "counseled" Doctor, as if the new Doctor wasn't a continuity but rather a drop in from already having a life, seems....weird.
But for the producers, if it doesn't work out you can just eliminate the RTD storyline and switch back to Tennant. After all, who really expects a time lord to sit on a porch drinking lemonade for long?
I think that choice has a lot to do with the Curator and the Renegade Doctor, this would explain them pretty neatly.
