My reply to the original comment is just below this, and boils down to along with RTD's racial issues, he's got consent issues, because the *only* New Who companion to leave on her own steam and without duress is Sarah Jane. Rose was allowed to fall into the void (after the Doctor had snuck up on her with the universe jumper), Jack was left behind, Martha was driven out, and Donna was mindwiped.
At least Moffat doesn't seem to think that there's something defective about people who *don't* want to be joined at the hip to the Doctor 24/7, and hopefully won't be coming up with plots to force them away one way or another.
