It seems the story is not December 9, but now all Saturday/Monday transfers as well as, noted by another commenter, St. Joseph and Sts. Peter and Paul.
Side note: can we send a dubia about getting Epiphany and Ascension back to their proper days, too?

Not quite. As the article notes, the USCCB retains the power to dispense or transfer obligations, so the other Saturday/Monday transfers remain in effect, as does St. Joseph's and Sts. Peter and Paul. They could do Immaculate Conception as well, they'd just have to revise the particular law as is currently written to cover the eventuality we see this year.
Yep, saw that paragraph more clearly reading through a second time. Thanks.
I knew that to be the case, but somehow reading this made me think the Dicastery was coming down on the practice here in the US (wishful thinking, most likely ;))
