To me, it doesn't matter which liturgy your practice: you can practice the Coptic Liturgy, the Byzantine Liturgy, or Roman Liturgy, if there's no emotional content in how you exercise, it'll mean diddly.
I believe this reform is of the type that you wouldn't see without a new, younger priest, Apotheoun.
If the same priests have been staffing the RC churches near you for a decade or more, they may be of the old guard. They're never going to change, not really. Sure, they'll say the new translation, more or less. But as they age out and younger priests replace them, things generally do change, for the better, even if incrementally in some parishes.

If it is going to take that long it pretty much rules out my living long enough to see a well celebrated "ordinary form" mass. Such is life I suppose in the modern Roman Church.
I thank the Lord constantly for the fact that there is at least a monthly Byzantine Catholic liturgy in my area. Otherwise I would spiritually starve to death. Well I suppose I could attend an Eastern Orthodox parish on a regular basis.
It seems my question to you went unnoticed. Sorry if I perchance put it in an ambiguous way. So once more: please could you describe the liturgical abuses of cardinal Hummes. Thank you!
I would be curious to hear how your seminaraians are being prepared.
You mean the Latin Church's seminarians? Most are foreign born and began their seminary training in their home country. As far as their training here in the United States I think it is being done mainly in Menlo Park. I can not really speak to the quality of the training their, but I hope it has improved since the 1990s when I was still a member of the Roman Rite and looked into becoming a priest.
That said, I have not noticed an appreciable difference in the way that younger priests celebrate (or as people say here 'preside') at the 1960s version of the Roman Rite.

Liturgical dancers, circus music used during the liturgy, masses with life-sized puppet characters, people in the procession coming in on roller skates, etc.
A lot of these (and other things) can be seen by watching the liturgical videos posted online by the second largest Catholic basilica in the world, our Lady of Aparecida.
