> Solution:
> Since we moved several old hardcoded modules to sysext, they can also be

> one of these old hardcoded extensions.

> E.g. the workspaces module registers himself for "before:info". So if
> "info" is not installed, the default would be to be placed "at the end".
> This is even documented in the method addModule(), but it doesn't work.
