This Pope is in very poor health and I don't doubt that he is miserable enough trying to carry out his duties that he would take this extraordinary step. Modern sensibilities do make their way into traditions and I bet this is the case.
You have to wonder how many Popes were either totally senile or so incapacitated that others were really running things behind the scenes. Perhaps he does not want to be one of those.

I hope you are right. There is no way to know for sure. I'd say there is a 50/50 chance either way. I never used to think conspiratorially until I lived through one myself. Now, I can't help but see that there is a chance that things are not always what they appear.
