This step is about involvement and accountability of actual persons. That as also along the line of the Lockerbie investigations and trials. Libya never accepted responsibility, however accepted responsibility for the actions of its official and payed millions of compensation.
That is the nearest you can get to an admission and satisfying outcome.
Yes, it's a milestone, and therefore worthy of comment.
But don't hold your breath for any further developments. There clearly won't be any extradition or arrests, the JIT still isn't going to get access to the crash site, and we're nowhere nearer knowing the how and why than we were last week or last year.
Other than that, pretty well everything that can be said about the act has already been said.
