Won't you have a surprise when the document forthcoming also eliminates that bunch from working at Sunday Masses???

I would if it did, but it won't.

Extraordinary Ministers are a fact of life in large suburban parishes. Our parish, for instance, has three priests, but we serve two other parishes, so there is never more than one priest at the Church for a Sunday Mass. This, in a parish with over 7000 average Sunday Mass attendance.

How many services do those 7,000 attend?

One word: trination. THe priests would actually put in a day about half as long as the average parent's day.
