Magic Wands and the Tridentine Indult
O.k. - let's assume the new indult will suddenly open the floodgates to masses in the old rite. Who's going to teach 'em Latin? And who's going to teach 'em to chant?
The second is considerably more important than the first. I could teach a seminarian to pronounce (not read, just read aloud) ecclesiastical Latin quickly and correctly in a week if you let me use corporal punishment. We could do Greek in two weeks.
Chant is harder.
