Well, FR posters notwithstanding, I was just taking Bishop Fellay at his word, and he said that he wanted a universal indult, and that Rome balked.

Fellay talks a good game, but he has either expelled or allowed himself to be talked into expelling the leading proponent of reuinon, a Fr. Aulaigner. He's out of the SSPX, at the insistence, I suspect, of the foam-at-the-mouth hierarch, Richard Williamson. Fellay kinda likes being a big fish in a small pond. After reconciliation, he'd be a nobody.

It is the responsibility of the SSPX to seek reconciliation. They left, remember?

They never left. Get over it.

"They left, remember?"

Your memory's faulty. Nobody left. Archbishop Lefebvre disobeyed the Pope, which happens about every two seconds with most bishops around the globe. The big difference was that Lefebvre disobeyed to preserve the faith; the bishops disobey to do their modernist things. In any case, disobedience is NOT schism.
