It really does nothing to change things. It's a concession to those opposing Eisner which the board hopes will appease a chunk of the 40+% of shareholders who didn't vote for Eisner. Mitchell is a pretty staunch supporter of Eisner and that won't appease those out for Eisner's head.
I am not particularly impressed with Eisner of late. The destruction of the Pixar relationship was likely avoidable and definitely hurts the company. I'm not sure I like the prospect of Comcast owning Disney and would prefer to see it remain on its own. I think the company needs to be rejuvenated but I don't think Eisner has the popularity/support/or faith of those who will need to work to do it.
