According to sources, a universal indult for the Mass of Pius V (popularly known as the Tridentine Mass) has already been signed by the pope and will be published soon. Of course, you know how these thing go, they jumped the gun on the limbo declaration. But this has been rumored for a long time and the evidence is solid. While I have no personal affection for the Latin Mass, I think this will be a good thing for the church. This is said to be a precursor for reconciling the SSPX schism.
By the way "universal" comes with qualifications: If the bishop forbids it in writing, you cannot exercise it.
