 /**
  * A {@link ChannelHandler} that is notified when it is added to or removed
  * from a {@link ChannelPipeline}.
- * <p>
- * Please note that the methods of this handler is called only when the
- * {@link ChannelPipeline} it belongs to has been
- * {@linkplain ChannelPipeline#attach(Channel, ChannelSink) attached}.
- * That is, if you add a {@link LifeCycleAwareChannelHandler} to the unattached
- * {@link ChannelPipeline}, the life cycle handler methods in this handler will
- * not be invoked because there's no associated {@link ChannelHandlerContext}:
- * <pre>
- * // Create a new pipeline which is unattached initially.
- * ChannelPipeline pipeline = Channels.pipeline();
- * // beforeAdd() and afterAdd() will not be called.
- * pipeline.addLast("handler", new MyLifeCycleAwareChannelHandler());
- * // beforeRemove() and afterRemove() will not be called.
- * pipeline.remove("handler");
- * </pre>
- * However, once the {@link ChannelPipeline} is attached and the
- * {@code channelOpen} event is fired, the life cycle handler methods will
- * be invoked on addition or removal:
- * <pre>
- * public void channelOpen(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ChannelStateEvent evt) {
- *     // channelOpen event has been triggered, which means the pipeline has
- *     // been attached to the channel.
- *     ChannelPipeline pipeline = ctx.getChannel().getPipeline();
- *     // beforeAdd() and afterAdd() will be called.
- *     pipeline.addLast("handler", new MyLifeCycleAwareChannelHandler());
- * }
- *
- * public void channelClosed(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ChannelStateEvent evt) {
- *     // Once attached, the pipeline is never detached.
- *     ChannelPipeline pipeline = ctx.getChannel().getPipeline();
- *     // beforeRemove() and afterRemove() will be called.
- *     pipeline.remove("handler");
- * }
- * </pre>
