I know Paolo. He does not whine. If you disagree with him, perhaps you can share your reasoned opinion?

So we have this guy who's been maintaining various pieces of software for years that many of us use every day. And instead of thanking him for his hard work and wishing him the best, you complain about him making use of his freedom of expression (free software is about freedom, remember?)? Boy, do I hate jerks like you.

I have had my disagreements with plenty of folks, including Paolo, but he is *definitely* not a whiner.
In fact, if you are a GNU person, you should be very worried that folks like Paolo have decided to resign/not work on projects anymore.
*very* worried.
