I can see what the poster probably means -- that the absence of Gallifrey is almost more profound than its presence in the old series -- but wow, that was poorly phrased.

Also, I'm not sure it's that clever, to equate Gallifrey with Rose. One embodies failure, unmet obligations, lost chances, lost family, domesticity. The other is his home planet.

*eyedart*

I'll get my coat.

What I meant to say, before I got distracted, is that it's not necessarily positive for Rose, equating her with Gallifrey. I mean, the Doctor's attitude to his home is pretty damn ambiguous.
