I read the thread, no responses from Apple nor Microsoft a.t.m.
But considering WebRTC could potentially ruin much of Skype's business, a cynical guess would be that they won't make this easy.

WebRTC is likely to increase Skype's business (assuming the do a WebRTC implementation), at the expense of traditional telecoms and conference call providers.
How so? Are their servers for sale and somehow they can license them so web clients can conference via them. Otherwise I don't get. Or are you assuming they will buckle and would be forced to implement the WebRTC protocol.
WebRTC increases the potential market for all of those things by decreasing the friction - people won't even need to install the Skype client anymore.
How?
Apparently Microsoft plans to use WebRTC in the Skype Web client [1]
