Why should he change the project name when he originally have it first?
Also why did you have to frame it as rage quitting?
- gigatexal 7y agoIt’s the way of the world that larger fish get to do as they please. A simple name change and he can continue to do his work. It’s the idea of turning the other cheek. That or trademark the name I guess.

- gigatexal 7y agoThey should have shipped the original devs version or forked it and worked with him to get it supported and submitted their RH changes upstream etc.

I don't think he have retaliated in anyway, at least from the github commit message and the blog post. He just decided it wasn't worth his free time to deal with this problem. Maybe there is a disagreement with the definition of rage quitting but it was his open source project and his free time. I don't think it's rage quitting if he wants to quit and do something else with his free time. Rage quitting have a negative connotation such as flipping table or that scene from the movie Half baked where the dude cussed everybody out before quitting. He seems to have a career, whether you care or not, labeling at such may be detrimental to his career. Regardless of if you care or not, I hope other people refrain from speculating or do huge leaps of conclusion base on little or no facts that can damage other people's ability to make a living.
