Hi Ruben, I don't know why exactly. My guess is that we can use spring configuration to invoke initialize() and destroy() of the valve bean for the purpose, so it hasn't be regarded as necessary. Currently a valve's life cycle is managed by spring bean factory, not by pipeline. If we add destroy() method in Valve interface, then we need to make Pipeline invoke the lifecycle methods of Valve. It is meaningful in a sense, but I cannot find any pragmatic benefit now.
