This article rips Ben Gooder's words so far out of context that it is not even funny...
Here's the original sentence with the quoted portion bolded:
If security is important to you, this demonstration should show that browsers that are redistributions of the official Mozilla releases are never going to give you security updates as quickly as Mozilla will itself for its supported products.
The context of Ben's blog post was the final release of the Netscape 8.0 browser which was based on top of the Firefox 1.0.3 source code. Ben was merely pointing out that this left the Netscape users open to attack. Netscape promptly released 8.0.1 built on the Firefox 1.0.4 code.
Mozilla is fulfilling its obligation to its users by producing quality secure products, not pandering to an OSS "community" which seem more intent on arguing about every minute detail rather than change the way things are done.
To that end, Go Mozilla!
