A person has asked for a solution to this problem: print a dual magazine where
the first half is a regular magazine, but the second half is a magazine with
the pages upside down with respect to the first half. In other words the back
cover is really the front cover of the second magazine. I assume that the
page counts of each magazine are equal.
I know that Context has an extensive imposition capability but I don't think
this particular problem has been addressed.

Hi John,
I do not have the complete answer to your question. The problem lies
in the fact that one should have the second document in a rotated form.
Once you have one document upright and the second rotated, you could
use the mechanisms described in page-imp.mkII/mkiv to create a single
document from the two base-documents.
Once the two documents are combined into one you could invoke arranging.
You can do things like:
\definepapersize
[offset=15pt]
\setuppapersize
[A5,landscape][A4,portrait]
\setuplayout
[backspace=0pt,
topspace=0pt,
width=middle,
height=middle,
location=middle,
header=0pt,
footer=0pt]
\setuppagenumbering[location=,alternative=doublesided]
\setuparranging[2DOWN]
\starttext
% \copypages
% [the-review.pdf]
% [scale=1000,
% offset=0pt]
% \filterpages
% [the-review.pdf][1:16][width=0pt]
\insertpages[the-review.pdf][width=0pt]
\stoptext

I wonder how this imposes

So, that is a short cut!
I did not know weather the magazine was in context or not.
Anyway is there a possibility to rotate pages in a already typeset pdf?
Kind regards

externalfigure has no rotation key, and this does not work out well
\defineoverlay[realdirty][{\rotate[rotation=180]{\foregroundbox}}]
\framed{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][background=realdirty]}
(no time now)

Great, nicely packed in a joke! - This has not come to my mind as a
solution and I am sure that I will need this idea later on!
Thanks!

No imposition, but I have added a reverse feature in a module that I am
working on.
http://github.com/adityam/cut-n-paste
\usemodule[cut-n-paste]
\starttext
\processcutNpaste[name={file1}]
\processcutNpaste[name={file2},rotation=180, alternative=reverse]
\stoptext
Due to a bug in \getfigureddimensions in MkIV, this only works correctly
in MkII. To use MkIV, you have to add
\setupcutNpaste[width=..., height=...]
