He does make a fair point that browsers will focus on themselves and not on fixing common bugs, so in the end benefit to WebKit will be less than anticipated by such move.

Also he does compare WebKit to oldIE, though I wonder is Gecko any better.

I was only comparing the version-spread problem of WebKit to the one we have in IE, not comparing the two browsers.

My bad. I guess Gecko isn't prolific enough to have major difference between versions/forks.
