Benedikt Ritter commented on IMAGING-156:
-----------------------------------------
bq. Although this is largely a matter of taste, I believe that you are correct.
I think you will find this guide line in a lot of books. The main reason for
using classes over interfaces is, that the purpose of an interfaces is to
define a contract rather. Further more there is a lot of logic scattered around
the code, which uses the constants that can be implemented in the constant
classes. I'm not sure when I'll get the time to do this, since it is a pretty
big refactoring. But I'll have a look at IMAGING-126 before.
