Bishops who have less emotional investment in Vatican II and the new liturgy will take a softer view of the old mass than you do.

Not if they follow the GIRM. They'll mandate the Novus Ordo, and make exceptions for the Tridentine (if the Tridentine is not already in its own rite).

Speaking of the normative missal, if a priest so desired, he could move the altar to the back of the wall, say the mass "ad orientum" entirely in Latin, and is within his canonical rights to even install communion rails. Would opposed to this as well?

Yes. That's not the Novus Ordo.

If a priest wants to say the Tridentine, get an Indult and say it.

Communion rails are no big deal to me. Let those who wish to receive at the rails, do so, and those who wish to receive standing, do so.

Actually it is the Novus Ordo, like it or not. A Priest is well within his rights to move the altar to the back of the sanctuary, say the mass "ad orientum" and use all Latin, and guess what, it would be from the Novus Ordo missal. Again St. Agnes in St.Paul MN is such a parish. The truth is, and rad trads and modernists do not like to admit this, that both missals are not all that different when the Novus Ordo uses traditional rubrics.
