- The handler you specify with initializer() is actually simply added to the pipeline and that's all. It's ChannelInitializer which does additional work. For example, a user can specify just a single handler with initializer() and it will still work. This is especially common for Bootstrap, so I renamed initializer to handler, which makes more sense.
