TYPO3 CMS 6.2 currently does not support EXT: syntax in TCA. Extensions (as seen in the related issue for static_info_tables) using EXT: thus cannot not support TYPO3 CMS 6.2 but only TYPO3 CMS 7 currently.

This is exactly why I want to add support for EXT: on TYPO3 CMS 6.2 because otherwise you need to stay with extRelPath() with your extensions if you want to support TYPO3 CMS 6.2 and TYPO3 CMS 7 which will give you deprecation notices on TYPO3 CMS 7.

Adding the support for EXT: in TYPO3 CMS 6.2 would solve this issue. If Benni as release manager decides this is not backported you will need to add compatibility-code to all your extensions supporting 7 and 6.2 where e.g. EXT: is replaced by extRelPath() if TYPO3_version <= 6.2

Using EXT: in iconfile of TCA is now used as favorite method as of TYPO3 7.5, using extRelPath logs to deprecationlog. 
Using EXT: in TYPO3 6.2 is not possible. To ease the transformation to EXT: I'd like to add support for it in 6.2. 
What do you think? @neoblack @benjaminkott

@grossberndts: yes, please. @wouter90 and me already ported some other parts in that area back to 6.2
