Description
We want to remove the interfaces FilterableList and SortableList, as well as the implementations FilteredList and SortedList from the public API. These are optional features, that are not part of the committed deliverables for the Presidio release, but they were added very late during the beta timeframe.

The reasons are:
1. The current functionality is insufficient. We know that for sure already. It is not clear, if the missing functionality can be implemented compatible to the current design.
2. The performance is not were we want it to be for a release.
3. Stability seems to be an issue.

In addition to removing the classes mentioned above, we want to do add the following methods in ListChangeListener.Change to enable implementations of SortedList and FilteredList with better performance. public boolean next(); // moves to the next change public void reset(); // moves the internal pointer back to the first change If an implementation of ListChangeListener currently looks like this: new ListChangeListener () { @Override public void onChanged(Change c) { // some code } }; It has to be updated like this: new ListChangeListener () { @Override public void onChanged(Change c) { while (c.next()) { // some code } } }; All implementations of ListChangeListener.Change in our repository will be updated as part of this API change.

CCR / SQE: ok, about 20 affected tests. 1md to update tests would be required.
