Executive summary - agree or disagree, it isn't going to change anytime
soon.

Don't do that! It looks like it will install WordPress 2.9.2 which is very,
very, old. Just download WordPress as normal (http://wordpress.org/download/)
and install it in as many vhost document roots as you like.

I have more than 200 WordPress install across my three servers (including
local dev server) all using Apache vhosts, most have separate installs and
databases, a few are multisite with from 3 to 50 subsites.
