My interpretation of the article is that there is a pretty big split between the various groups that are advising the President. For the time being, the combination of folks who either (a) don't want any executive action or (b) want action eventually, but have other priorities atm won. If the coalition shifts down the road, then we could either see the return of a very aggressive executive order.
The most likely outcome, imo, is that at some point Trump gets convinced that he has to throw some more red meat to his base, so he signs something that doesn't go as far as the draft order, but still allows for some pretty nasty outcomes (allowing more discrimination by religious entities, adoption restrictions, etc).
