I also want to obsolete the IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES in favor of INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES so that expressions such as $<TARGET_PROPERTY:foo,INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES> work for every target, not just non-imported ones. I'm not really sure why the IMPORTED_ variants of those properties were created and whether they are really needed?
