[TYPO3-core] RFC: #12518: Reports module doesn't support EXT: syntax

What's wrong with that? The issue you mention is a bug which should be 
solved. It shouldn't prevent using autoloading.

The Scheduler and the Reports module are completely new modules and I 
think it is right that they use only new paradigms. I find it extremely 
convenient to be able to use autoloading and not have to care for 
syntaxes like EXT:...

These new modules will never be used with a TYPO3 version before 4.3, so 
autoloading is always available. Why care for older syntaxes? Let's 
actually encourage people to use the new ways! Otherwise why did we 
bother introduce autoloading?

So use autoload...
