(Romereports.com) The Society of St. Pius X has posted a document in regards to whether it will be in full communion with Rome, or not. The tone of the document is quite dry. Even though the traditionalist group doesn’t give an explicit ‘no’ in the letter, it does imply that it does not accept the current conditions laid out by the Vatican.
In the letter, the group says that during its general chapter meeting, it did discuss the possibility of a canonical agreement that its members and the Holy See could agree on.
When the negotiations became more serious, there were internal divisions among Lefebvrists. Now, it seems the group, led by Bishop Fellay has reached a consensus, that at least for now, seems to lean more towards ‘no’
The letter also states that the Second Vatican Council is marked with errors. It then adds that it expects a frank and serious discussion, so that ecclesiastical authorities can rejoin their traditional roots.

Catholic News Service on Traditionalists – Accept Papal Authority, hint at continuing discussions
I know there are Vincentian conferences at some FSSP parishes (a good trad group that used to be SSPX but came into full Communion)! Keep praying for reconciliation of SSPX into full Communion!!!
