Obviously it'll make the transition to the new show runner easier. But as for the viewing public and fans, on the one hand less Who is always a bad thing. I love it so I want more. MORE *cackles maniacally*
On the other hand, does few episodes mean a bigger budget per episode? Or are they lowering the budget in reflection of the amount of episodes? Does it mean Catherine Tate will be back for season five? Does it mean they will throw the fans a bone and explain what happened in the Time War (complete with Paul McGann flashbacks)? Does it mean they’ll crossover with the spin-offs (because I’d love Sarah Jane to make a return to the mother show)? And what will happen to the spin-offs (in general as well, as will the new show runner really want to take over three shows)?
Really, I don’t know enough to decide whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Season 3 just was unfortunate in that unlike the first two seasons where the quality varied week to week, all the lower quality episodes were came on after the other and then all the brilliant episodes came one after the other.
