Wonderful news, praise God. The cynic in me will wonder how long it will take Abp. Viola and Mr. Grillo to push through an autopen change to canon law requiring autopen papal approval of all episcopal erections of shrines, but I rely on God's grace to maintain my hope.
Perhaps this is a tolerable/reasonable compromise until, perhaps, a successor to the throne has the opportunity to reflect upon that which Pope Benedict XVI desired.
The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest "will propose clergy of their society to Bishop Parkes to be appointed to staff the Shrine."

Pope Francis, and the The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest leadership, have enjoyed a cordial relationship with each other.
The ICK noted that last year, "Monsignor Gilles Wach, Prior General of our Institute, was received in private audience by His Holiness Pope Francis, accompanied by Monsignor Rudolf Michael Schmitz, vicar general of the Institute, and by Canon Louis Valadier, provincial of France."
"On two occasions, the Pope insisted that we continue to serve the Church according to our own, proper charism, in the spirit of unity and communion which the harmony and balance of the Salesian spirituality allow.
"The Holy Father also expressed his gratitude for the prayers and for the apostolic and missionary work of the Sister Adorers, as well as for the generous dedication of the oblates.
"At the end of the meeting, the Holy Father invited our Prior General to visit him again with all the members of the Institute, as well as the Sister Adorers, whom he would be very happy to receive in audience."
I noted the following a few weeks ago on Father McDonald's blog:
"In 2021 A.D., in a rare moment of his having treated Pope Francis fairly, New Catholic (Rorate Caeli) made it clear that Traditionis Custodes was not launched as a vicious attack against "traditionalists"/TLM.
-- Francis, in interview: Actually, the Traditional Mass was not abolished, I just wanted a “constructive reordering” of Summorum Pontificum…
Pope Francis: "Then the subject was studied and based on that, the concern that appeared the most was that something that was done to help pastorally those who have lived a previous experience was being transformed into ideology. That is, from a pastoral thing to ideology.
"So, we had to react with clear norms. Clear norms that put a limit to those who had not lived that experience. And on the other hand, to support and consolidate Summorum Pontificum.
"I did more or less the outline, I had it studied and I worked, and I worked a lot, with traditionalist people of good sense. And the result was that pastoral care that must be taken, with some good limits."
"If you read the letter well and read the Decree well, you will see that it is simply a constructive reordering, with pastoral care and avoiding an excess..."
=======
Bishop Gregory Parkes had undertaken a "careful study of Pope Francis’ motu proprio Traditionis Custodes and having prayerfully reflected on spiritual needs expressed by the faithful in the Diocese devoted to the Roman Rite celebrated according to the Roman Missal of 1962, the canonical status of Epiphany of Our Lord Catholic Church, in Tampa, Florida, will be converted from a parochial church to a diocesan shrine."
The "careful study" in question has corresponded to Pope Francis' declaration that "If you read the letter (Traditionis Custodes) well and read the Decree well, you will see that it is simply a constructive reordering, with pastoral care and avoiding an excess..."

It's better than nothing.
