True. Basically the middle took over in the Senate and told the partisans to sit down and shut up. Its not going to make the guys who want a barroom fight in both parties happy. Whether the agreement means that President Bush's nominees are going to get the up and down vote they deserve remains to be seen. But at the end of the day, Dingy Harry knew he was outmanuvered and took the deal he could get.

The Republicans presumably could say that some objection of the Dems is not extraordinary and so claim the agreement breached. But you would need enough Republican senators to say that, and these "moderates" may not all be convinced.
