True, but in MikTeX that should not happen since both ConTeXt and LM
were supposed to be updated simultaneously. TeX Live has no
auto-update mechanisms and at the time when the problem arised LM has
not even been released yet.

For a MikTeX user, following the suggestions from that old thread is
probably a bad idea.
