It's only ever used essentially to expose GridHelperCurveLinear._grid_info to FixedAxisArtistHelper.get_tick_iterators; it seems better to access it from the sole caller. (Note that floating_axes already does the same direct access to the private _grid_info.)
Removing get_tick_iterator also removes the confusion with get_tick_iterators (plural), which is a common API in axisartist. Also note that the "minor" parameter of get_tick_iterator had a rather peculiar meaning (it only switched the labels off).
