You can read that as:

   It depends on whether the released version of the Stix fonts will
   be packaged in a predictable manner.

It should either follow the cambria math example (otf, for mkiv) or
the cm/ams example (pfb, for mkii) to make it work in context.
 From the beta program so far, neither seems to be likely to happen,
but we will have to wait and see (some more).


Best wishes,
