@louiscryan @nmittler @ejona86 - I checked in gRPC and it looks like this is still not being used? Is the plan still to use this or eventually consume the stream writability changes?
 So far it has not proven critical to performance and there are other perf improvements I would prioritize in GRPC above the use-case for this, particularly with the improvements in flow-control write allocations and frame merging.

Im OK with getting rid of this
 after we get PR https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/4599 pulled in I'll submit a PR for this (I have one pending)
 Thanks Scott

HTTP/2 RemoteFlowController$Listener.streamWritten
We should evaluate whether [Http2RemoteFlowController$Listener.streamWritten](https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/4.1/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/Http2RemoteFlowController.java#L151) is necessary. If not we should remove it.
