>  interface extends Netty, which means our public API is bound to a specific 
> Netty API and release. IIRC we were minimizing our public-facing surface area 
> and asserting ownership over the whole of it so as to control our 
> compatibility. Ie, we've done this with Protobuf as well. Not sure if this 
> has made it back to other branches.
