Correction: Luigi and I are still discussing how to make it work because 
there is some init order issue and we want to be sure that context (and 
its scripts) keep working. It would be sort of weird if context (where 
luatex originates) would stop working as expected. Keep in mind that 
luatex is also a lua engine. and I assume that the texlive team also has 
some tests to perform (apart from getting all platforms updated which 
for some is more work, like apple signing).

The issue (disabling socket by default) is not that pressing as socket 
has been with us for right fromn the start) and security wise there are 
plenty ways tex can mess up your system if someone wants.
