Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2008-05-05 17:15:13 EDT 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #183165 +++

We decided in bug 183165 that interfaces should not be extended just to bring constants into a namespace. Consequently, ISystemPropertyConstants should not extend IBasicPropertyConstants. At the same time, this will get rid of an unnecessary UI dependency.

This is a breaking change because clients which might have implemented ISystemPropertyConstants, will not find the constants from IBasicPropertyConstants any more.

Migration Notes:
----------------
All constants from IBasicPropertyConstants need to be prefixed (qualified) with their declaring interface, IBasicPropertyConstants.
