-----------------------------

it seems that we won't reach consensus for this.
i'll therefore remove the target-milestone.

> separate issue started by julian within issue #1166:
> RepositoryService.getChildInfos is defined to return an Iterator.
> this forces the caller to loop over all entries in order to detect the number of child-nodes.
> currently the hierarchy is populated any way, but that could be a source for future optimization.
> possible solutions:
> - change return value to RangeIterator
> - change return value to Collection (or Set).
