So, Capaldi is playing a Doctor, and one of the first thirteen lives. So that means he's either the Twelfth Doctor, or a version of the Doctor who is not usually acknowledged (like the War Doctor). Since the first eleven regenerations are accounted for now, that would push him post-Eleven.

I see no reason to dispute, based on The Day of the Doctor dialogue, that Peter Capaldi is playing the Twelfth Doctor.
