Even when the PFS is configured, the defaults can be faulty:

"I'm not aware of any open source servers that support anything like that."

The article is from June 2013, has anything changed since?

Most sites that enable PFS do so with solid ECDH. It's hard to find PFS configuration guidelines that will give you breakable conventional DH groups.

The latter half of AGL's post is about systems security, not (really) the cryptographic security of TLS. It's about things you can do that would make NSA owning up your servers a greater or lesser threat to previously encrypted TLS sessions.
