"We've Waited Long Enough" petition

In recent days, I have skimmed over posts on other blogs about the petition "We've Waited Long Enough" - for the new ICEL translation, that is. I mistakenly assumed that it was the same as the one I mentioned a few weeks ago. It's not, it is a different one. Here is the wording:
We believe that the newly approved English translation of the 2002 Missale Romanum needs to be implemented as soon as possible.

We believe that the Church in English-speaking nations has waited far too long for an accurate, faithful translation of the original Latin.

We believe that the current translation currently in use in English-speaking nations is overdue to be replaced, as it was developed using the method of dynamic translation, a method rejected by the Vatican in the document Liturgiam Authenticam.

We stand united with the English-speaking bishops' conferences in their approval of the new translation.

We oppose any efforts to continue to delay this new translation.

The fact that the English speaking Bishops Confrence has approved it, going on post Vatican 2 history, is not on its own acceptable, if Pius 10th accept it as well it is probably worthwhile, there are some serious concept of Mass, that Rome must address. I would rather wait to get it right.
