I stopped being concerned about the limit to regenerations when it became apparent that in the new series the Doctor is "the" Time Lord rather than "a" Time Lord. It was clearly established with the Master's shenanigans in the original series that there are ways around it, and Doctor Who is full of enough science-so-advanced-it's-magic that I wouldn't blink twice if the White Guardian showed up, waved his hand, and declared the Doctor immortal. It was really just a matter of how.
Based on the old Master thing, I assumed someone would sacrifice themself to give the Doctor a new set of regenerations. Could be quite a moving storyline. Say, for example, Wilf returns the favor...
