I'm not sure I understood what you suggested correctly, but are you
suggesting to remove the channel interfaces that extends one or more
other channel interfaces?  If so, I agree.  For example,
LocalServerChannel should be replaced by the combination of LocalChannel
and ServerChannel.  The same change could be applied to
ServerSocketChannel and XnioServerChannel.  Let me know if this is what
you think (or not.)

Thanks,
