They seem to have no objection, so it will likely continue

What--someone has to file a formal complaint, notarized and witnessed, time-stamped, with copy served by process-server to get Bishops, Cardinals, and priests to actually do what's required?

I certainly hope that your love of the GIRM (and the other instructions on the Liturgy) preclude you from APPROVING this silliness.

I actually have no problem with this, and even do it myself, at the Penitential Rite, and during Baptisms, to explain what is happening and the significance of each portion of the baptismal rite.

Changing the words in the Sacramentary, no. But adding a few here and there to tie in with the Gospel... I'll take my cues from the bishops, who don't seem in a big hurry to put an end to it themselves.

BTW, I've seen embellishments to the Penitential Rite at Papal Masses.

Bishops, cardinals, and priests can disregard liturgical law, canon law or anything else they wish. Complaints don't help (except of course when priests are being too traditional).
Only us schmucks in the back pews are required to follow the rules.
