(1) AFAIK, the SSPX didn't make any concessions, which is part of why this is so controversial. It was a bit like Israel's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza. (2) SSPX masses are still not licit. In fact, this action has nothing to do with the SSPX; it affects only the four bishops. (3) This doesn't regularize the status of the four bishops. It's just that instead of being excommunicated, their status is now the same as that of SSPX priests: they're suspended a divinis.
