The XdsServerBuilder subclass will only define this as VisibleForTesting to be used by test code. Actual user code is supposed to call forPort(int,ServerCredentials) . However the subclass cannot reduce the visibility from public to package-private. Not that we can do anything in this PR about it...

Hm, why copy ForwardingServerBuilder and not just make it public? I believe the only reason we made it package-private is because it wasn't used anymore after we reverted NettyServerBuilder to extend AbstractServerImplBuilder. |
This reduces ABI issues caused by returning the more precise XdsServerBuilder in the API. See grpc#7552.

I didn't make it public since I didn't want to do that in the 11th hour. But I agree it should be mostly fine. Done. |
