It is true that generating extended font metrics (e.g. cmr10+5.tfm) was 
a bit deterrent thing for pdfTeX users.

It was the reason that Thanh enabled (some months ago) use hz WITHOUT a 
need of generating extended metrics. But there was some problems with 
this pdftex version so it coused some delay. Now I believe it will be 
reflected in ConTeXt support. (I do not know what Hans thinks by "and 
more" but I reckon he means some code clean up).

After that we will need:
1) new ConTeXt
2) new pdftex binary
