It would be interesting if they brought in the Valeyard as a recurring villain in future Smith seasons (separate from Hurt), which culminates in his final episode being at Trenzalore and regenerating into 12 (13th incarnation) and the Valeyard.

It works if he met Tasha Lem and found out what the Silence actually were sometime between A Good Man Goes To War and Time Of The Doctor. He certainly got up to a lot of things offscreen between those episodes so there'd have been ample opportunity.

I mean, still not super-satisfying (but nothing probably would have been) but it's better than LOL HE KNEW THE WHOLE TIME AND WAS PRETENDING BECAUSE *THE DOCTOR LIES* or whatever.

It would have been interesting to have made the Silence appear in A Good Man Goes to War and get a lame explanation like that, and then at the very end of Time of the Doctor it turns out they've been pulling the strings all along and don't want Gallifrey to return because they've become the dominant force in the universe (even suggesting the Daleks to imprison the Doctor).

That way they can stay around as recurring villains with their own agenda.

They're creepy, they have time machines, and are perfect for "sometimes they help the Doctor, sometimes they want to kill him."

Oh well...
