It looks to me like — in spite of refusing to implement state-wide standards — they’ve created a clear set of state-wide standards for individual institutions to “voluntarily” meet, which are precisely the kinds of standards and mechanisms you’d create if there were serious problems. So both sides get to claim vindication, but in the long run, one side really did win.
