Significance is that it filled a MAJOR void of long time fans. We never saw the 8th regenerate. Hurt is the 9th, but because the other Doctor's don't consider him "one of us" they omit him. But he is still regardless the 9th incarnation of that Time Lord. Ecclestone was the 10th, Tennant the 11th, and Smith the 12th. Which is why Smith's Doctor told the Cyberman something like "I can regenerate, but god only knows what we will get next." Meaning the Valeyard perhaps.
In any event, it's a pretty earth shattering mini-ep. And proof to me that McGann would have made one hell of a Doctor.
edit: The Timelock isn't a prison. It just means that EVENT is locked from other timetravellers going to it and changing events. The 9th Doctor aka Hurts Doctor is the one who destroyed Gallifrey, Skaro, and quite a bit of other things based on everything said the past 9 years. Tennants Doctor admitted to killing millions in The Doctor's Daughter.
