People have been giving deserved criticism to Ubuntu and Shuttleworth for the design choices made, and for you to characterize this as "whining" is the height of cuntitude. People are invested in Ubuntu both in install base and possibly support contracts, and they have every right to criticize the distro, should they choose to, without you belittling their opinions as "whining". 
I find it hilarious that you seem to think that Canonical is doing what they do out of the goodness of their hearts, while they continue to leech on open source projects, trying to turn them proprietary at every turn.
